Snow tubing: a family vacation sport

Sledge-cheesecakes

Snow tubing (or just tubing) is a round inflatable sled for skiing downhill in winter. They are small for children, large for adults and huge for several people. The cheesecake sled is made of durable PVC fabric, and a car camera is placed inside. The camera absorbs the unevenness of the track, and skiing downhill is comfortable and safe.

You can ride such inflatable cheesecakes from any snow-covered slopes – as long as there are no trees and stones. However, it is best to go with tubing to special prepared tracks in the form of a gutter. Rolling along the gutter, the tubing follows its curves, and riding becomes a great pleasure!

Tubing riding is becoming popular in Russia. Therefore, snow tubing can be purchased at any major sports store or ordered online. The average price of such a “cheesecake” is about 2500 rubles, the cost depends on the size and quality of the material. A small snow tubing for a child will cost about 1000 – 1500 rubles. A whopper tubing for two adults costs about 5000 – 6000 rubles.

Firstly, you will have a really interesting trail for skiing, and not the usual descent. Secondly, you don’t have to drag your tubing uphill every time – the lifts will do this for you, you just need to sit in the “cheesecake”.
