Leavenworth Ski Hill

Our family of six had an absolute blast snow tubing at Leavenworth Ski Hill. The runs were smooth, the setting was beautiful, and the whole experience had that cheerful winter energy that makes you feel like a kid again. The only catch? After each ride, everyone had to rejoin the queue for the next run. We ended up doing this seven times, and while the first few rounds moved quickly, the wait slowly grew longer as the day went on. Still, the laughter, friendly atmosphere, and thrill of the ride made the patience worth it. If you’re heading to Leavenworth for some tubing fun, go early to beat the longer afternoon lines—and get ready for a day full of snowy smiles.

It's a fun experience but I recommend a weight limit for kids instead of an age suggestion, like the website recommends. My son who is old enough is very tall and skinny so he doesn't weigh that much. Therefore his tube goes so much slower than all the others. I went behind my son and almost ran him over a few times. It was very stressful. Thankfully the gentleman at the bottom, who works there, was able to pull my son's tube aside or assist him out of the way, but there were too many close calls. Me and my son didn't even finish our 5 times down the hill just because I didn't want something to happen. The man at the bottom of the hill helping was kind of a grump and rough with my son but he still helped. It's fun for the family but I would recommend smaller kids or ones who don't weigh that much to pass. Especially since they can't ride with you. For reference my son weighs 45 lbs. Also, get there early cause the line fills up quickly.

This is an excellent running area in the summer. Well groomed trails and forest roads. Beautiful panoramic views. Excellent wildflowers. Open stone parking for several dozen vehicles. Restroom facilities available. Maps and trail signage is found throughout.
