Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?
Whether watching or sliding, you'll be outdoors so remember to dress warmly.

• The best way to dress for winter is to wear layers: The exterior protection layer of a shell and pants serves as your guard against the elements and should be waterproof.
• Cover your head--with a hat, hood or both--as this is where most of your body heat escapes.
• Keep your hands warm by wearing gloves (preferably waterproof) that fit well.
• Other essentials are warm socks and sunscreen. Being prepared to be outside helps ensure that you will have the best time you can while you're out playing in the snow!.
• Helmets and ski boots are not permitted when tubing.
