We went to Pando Tubing hill today with a group from church. We had a lot of fun!
You grab a tube, wait in a horrible line--I was very patient until our last time up and I yelled at a few kids who were cutting in line (Kelly was embarrassed!), then hook up to the tow rope and it tows you up the hill!
We bought a 3 hour ticket and we went up the hill for 3 hours (well, Jenny and I took a break but everyone else kept going) It was around 25-30 degrees and it snowed during most of the time we were out there. Some times it was hard to see when you were going down the hill because the snow kept falling so hard!
There were no jumps at this hill but Dave a few guys found ways to make it dangerous. They would go down right after each other and somehow bump into each other and try to knock each other off the tube.
It was a long run for the tubes and fairly fast but after a few times, you got used to it and it was really fun. I took Jenny with me everytime because the little kids didn't go far and if another person comes behind them that is heavier, they knock right into their tubes and they go flying.
Kelly and Abbey had a lot of fun and now Kelly thinks she wants to go there for her birthday next year! We'll see about that!
At the end of the day, we had no injuries but it took us a while to de-thaw. Our cheeks (the ones on our faces) took a while to thaw out. But we had lots of laughs and fun!

Ahh, the good times! Sound like a lot of fun - especially not having to walk back up the hill every time. Of course all we had to carry were those little plastic sheets we went head-first down on.
