Tube Town is Soda Springs' popular sliding hill, open for adults and children 42 inches or taller. Children must be able to ride in their own tube, not sitting on a lap with another participant.

Tube Town has as many as 20 lanes open for sliding with a 400-foot-long magic carpet lift to transport guests to the top of the hill. Tubes are provided as part of the admission ticket, and no personal sleds or tubes are allowed. Everyone needs a ticket to access Soda Springs, and Mountain Adventure Tube Town is only a short walk from the main lodge.

Nearby Sno-Park

One of California's Sno-Parks is located off Interstate 80 at the same exit as Boreal Mountain Resort on Donner Summit. At the exit, instead of turning right to the ski area, turn left to the Sno-Park. A permit is required to park at the Sno-Park from November 1 through May 30. Day permits are $15, season permits are $40.

The Donner Summit Sno-Park is popular with cross country skiers and snowmobilers. The level area around the parking lot is good for snow play, but there are no sliding hills.

Sno-Park permits can be purchased online with an additional $1.95 added to the price: Sno-Park Permits. Or permits may be purchased from local Sno-Park Permit Vendors.
