Winter fun will be here before we know it. That means sledding, skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating! Plus, ski hills and resorts around Minnesota will be opening up for some fun winter tubing, too.

There are a few spots around Minnesota that offer winter tubing but there's one spot that hasn't offered tubing in 10 years. Until this winter!

They're literally tearing things up and building out the tubing lanes as we speak to build their brand-new Tube Park. There's going to be 10 lanes of tubing and at night they'll have lights and music to tube to!

I haven't seen anything on their Facebook or website about pricing and hours of tubing just yet but I do know that their Epic Passes do NOT count for tubing. Tubing tickets are a separate cost.

I used to ski at Afton Alps when I was in my middle school's ski club, so it's been a while since I've been. I may need to head over there this season, though, for a little tubing AND skiing, probably!
