Winter is here, and along with the cold, snowy weather comes some seasonably appropriate and delightful new ways to play in the Mountain State that are impossible in the warmer months of the year. Yes, snowtubing, we’re looking at you.

Are you always on the lookout for fun ways to stay active through the winter months? It can be a challenge, but thankfully, living in West Virginia makes it easier.

The Mountain State offers so many winter sports options, from hiking to skiing to ice-skating. But perhaps one of the simplest, most fun pastimes you can opt for this winter in West Virginia is snowtubing.

And what better spot to snowtube this year than at Winterplace Ski Resort, which boasts the largest snowtubing park in the whole state. With up to 15 groomed lanes, if snow conditions are right, Winterplace offers plenty of room to spread out and have fun.

And fun it is. Nothing beats whizzing down a slick, steep hill of snow on a comfy innertube surrounded by beautiful mountain views…

…unless it’s being pulled back up that same hill again by the power of a machine instead of having to use energy from your own two tired legs.
