Cosmic Tubing at Skibowl is a Party on the Snow
Jan 19 2012 4:14PM
Posted 18 days 17 hrs ago
By combining laser lights, strobe lights, reflective snow tubes and a new sound system, Cosmic Tubing is a party on the snow, held every Saturday night in March at the Snow Tube & Adventure Park on Skibowl’s east side. Party music, from dance to classic rock sets the tone. Laser lights shine on the slopes, black lights shine from above and neon green tubes reflect the laser lights. Twelve groomed lanes accommodate tubers riding single or tandem. A new conveyor lift carries people and snow tubes to the top of the hill, steps away from the Multorpor Lodge and lounge or to outside slope-side seating so there’s no need to trudge uphill. Cosmic Tubing is scheduled every Saturday night from 7p-10p at Skibowl East, and on Fridays and Saturdays of school holiday weekends, and nightly during Oregon’s spring break. Cost is $30 a person. The conveyor lift along with reflective single and double tubes are provided. Check the Skibowl web site to confirm dates. Skibowl is usually open for winter activities from December through April and is located at 87000 East Highway 26, in Government Camp, Oregon. The main information line is 503-222-BOWL (2695) or online at www.skibowl.com.
