Today’s Groupon includes tube rental and access to snow tubing runs.

Opening its brand new, snow-covered terrain this season, Drop Zone Tube Park sends visitors down the hills of Mountain Creek in cushy inner tubes. Winter revelers speed down more than 30 manicured lanes in their personal powder-donut, enjoying a lift that removes the need for visitors to be dragged back up the mountain by boot-clad dads. After the two-hour sledding session, winter wanderers can make use of Mountain Creek’s skiing and snowboarding trails or visit the lodge, though these activities are not included in today’s deal. Hopeful tubers must make a slope reservation at least 24 hours in advance of their expedition and sign a waiver.
