Here in Minnesota, winter is a way of life. That's why every corner of the state is packed with fun activities to pass the time during the cold and snowy months. Whether you enjoy ice fishing, skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing, you'll find plenty of opportunities to do just that. The downfall of those activities is that you need special equipment and abilities to m97U7Yake the most of them. But the winter activity we'd like to introduce today doesn't require much more than some warm, waterproof clothes. It's snow tubing at Spirit Mountain, which gets even better after dark. Come nightfall, the hill is lit up with fun, colorful lights. If that sounds like something you and your family or friends would enjoy, read on below to learn more:

Spirit Mountain is one of the most popular places for winter recreation in Minnesota. Located in Duluth, it's a great destination for those who want to have some fun on the North Shore when the temperature drops.

There are many fun things to do here. Skiers and snowboarders will love racing down the hills at top speed. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran, you'll find fun here.

Snow tubing is also extremely popular at Spirit Mountain. It's a great way for people who aren't able to or don't feel comfortable skiing or snowboarding. People of all ages can experience the exhilaration of zipping down the snowy hill!

Tubing sessions at Spirit Mountain last two hours. They include a tube rental and access to the tubing lift. You'll be able to go up and down again and again!

On Friday and Saturday nights, snow tubing gets even more fun. Spirit Mountain opens up for glow tubing, a fun event where the tubing lanes are lit with fun colors!

As with daytime tubing sessions, glow tubing is available in two-hour sessions that include rental and lift access. Guests must be 42" tall and 5 years old to ride alone in a tube. Guests as young as 3 years old may ride with an adult on a double tube.

Because this is a popular family activity, it is recommended to book your tubing or glow tubing session in advance. Choose an evening, then bundle up and get tubing! This unique tubing attraction will help you bring winter fun into the evening!
