Although winter is drawing to an end something you will have to check out next winter is snow tubing.
Snow tubing is a thrilling ride down the ski slopes seated on a big rubber tube. You'll never forget the experience you have as you tear up the slopes at an astonishing speed. Tubing is an easy thing to do given all the ski resorts in Colorado that offer separate tubing hills next to the ski runs. Many resorts even how various slopes for different ages-some more steep than others for the more wild riders and some smooth for the kids. The nicest thing about these tubing runs is that most, if not all, have tow ropes that pull you back up the hill so you don't have to worry about lugging the tube back up the hill. This makes it a lot easier to take the kids and have an enjoyable time. My advice would be to wear a scarf or a neck warmer that covers your face because there is nothing worse than having the cold air whipping against your face as you cruise down the mountain. So maybe take a half day of skiing and spend the rest of the day on the tubing hill one day this winter when the snows a little icy. I promise you won't regret it.
