I'm a winter person, but not what you'd call particularly athletically coordinated. (My peak was a local Little League all-star game appearance at age 11, and it's been downhill for two decades since.) Therefore, I hadn't really thought about the local ski resorts, figuring that learning to ski or snowboard would likely be (a) quite expensive and (b) potentially quite painful.

There were a few times that I thought to myself, "If I could just SLED down those hills, that'd be perfect. I had no idea that you _could_ do that until a few weeks ago, when I saw a coupon for some ski resort that mentioned "snow tubing" and my eyes lit up.

A little research showed that Camelback, Big Boulder/Jack Frost, Blue Mountain, Shawnee Mountain, Tanglwood, and Alpine Mountain all offer snow-tubing. I can't say that I know anyone personally who's a skier, so I have no frame of reference as to which ones are better. Anyone around here have any comments?
