Snow tubing is the 2.0 version of the quintessential Canadian sport, tobogganing.
Like tobogganing, snow tubing involves rocketing down a snow-packed track without breaks and with the added element of spinning in an inner tube. The best part? It’s no skill, all-thrill fun.
Check out these action-packed places to snow tube in Ontario.
