Lee
and Karen Duquette, The Two RV Gypsies |
|
The snow is made from 100% pure water with no additives of any kind. 7,000 cubic feet of snow can be produced daily. Room temperature in the building is set to 65-70 degrees. For the tubing you must be at least 38 inches tall and 3 years old. The maximum weight is 375 pounds. One person per tube. This snow adventure is the first of its kind in the USA and is in a 35,000 square foot building.One hour of tubing was $21.99 on this date; 30 minutes of snow play was $7.99 on this date. A combination of 1 hour tubing plus snow play was $26.99 on this date. The two RV Gypsies received a Military Veterans Discount, which was a bit better than the discounts advertised in pamphlets all over town.There is also a second level made for friends and family to be able to watch everyone enjoy their tubing session. The second level has areas to relax in and get some food or drinks from the snack bar. The two RV Gypsies did not adventure up to the second level. Karen Duquette kept tubing every second she could during the one hour. Lee Duquette only took about 6 turns. To get the tube back up the hill, everyone holds onto their own tube while standing still on the moving catwalk. The tubes felt a bit heavy after awhile. |

Below: By the looks on their faces, It is obvious that Karen Duquette enjoys snow tubing a bit more than Lee Duquette does. |

Below: Karen Duquette was anxious to race down the 225-foot run at speeds up to 30 mph. Each time, the tube spun around and around so sometimes she was flying down the hill backwards. Not only did this tube fly fast, but the trip down was often a bit bumpy. Karen loved it. |

Now it was Lee Duquette's turn to glide down the snow slope. He liked it, but nowhere near as much as Karen Duquette did. |

The Snow Play area. No snowballs, pushing, running, or horseplay. Everyone can build a snowman, make snow angels or just play in the fluffy white snow. A snow blower constantly blew light snow on everyone. No food or drinks on the snow. Everyone can do the Snow Play area regardless of age, height or weight. |
