Best winter tubing park and ski resort?
Already planning ahead for a trip this coming ski season. Last year we went to Heavenly at Lake Tahoe and loved the tubing park. Looking for somewhere similar where the tubes are actually pulled uphill by a mechanical ski-lift kind of device. Any suggestions?

They do this at Keystone resort in Colorado! We did it for the first time
this past winter and had a blast. It's only done at night starting at 5pm. I think they may have one in Vail, CO also but I'm not certain. We tried dog-sledding this same trip and enjoyed that as well. Both can be found in Summit County, Colorado.

Yes, they have a mechanical tube pull at Vail. I believe the Eagle Bahn gondola is free after 2:00 or 3:00 pm every day, so even if you don't ski at Vail, you can ride up and enjoy the activities at the summit. They also have those snowbikes, snowmobile rentals, a small outdoor ice rink, laser tag, restaurant, etc..

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Colorado sounds wonderful. However, I should mention that I have some Southwest Airlines passes and need to go somewhere they fly. Unfortunately, SWA does not fly into Colorado. Any other ideas?
