Blizzard Mountain
Blizzard Mountain features a snow tubing hill and snow play area at Sierra at Tahoe Ski Resort on Highway 50 near Echo Summit. The tubing hill has two snow tubing lanes with a deck at the top for easy launching.
The slope is only moderately steep but still makes for an enjoyable ride. A gradual run-out area at the bottom allows sliders to glide to an easy stop. Tubes and riders are pulled gently to the top of the hill by a circulating cable tow. Friendly attendants keep a close eye on everyone, ensuring a safe and pleasurable experience. Children under 42 inches need to be accompanied by an adult.
Blizzard Mountain has a snow play area and a smaller hill that guests can ride down with their own sliding devices. Ticket sales are limited to avoid overcrowding, so plan to arrive early.
