Snow lovers headed to the McCall area to kick off 2026 will get a shot at some fresh gravity-fed thrills, as the Activity Barn Snow Tubing facility is set to open Friday, January 2.

The Snow Tubing hill, located two miles south of McCall, will open with one 800-foot tubing lane in action. Additional lanes will be added as snow and snowmaking conditions permit.

Anyone 36 inches or taller can go snow tubing at the Activity Barn, which features a conveyor lift to transport snow tubers to the top of the hill in just seven minutes.

Tubing is offered in two-hour blocks. Guests can pre-schedule their tubing sessions online to reserve a spot. Space is limited during each session to make sure everyone gets an ample amount of tubing action and lines don’t get too long.

The Activity Barn’s regular operating days are Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Bonus Mondays are planned on the three-day MLK and Presidents weekends. Tubing enthusiasts can find more information and make online reservations at www.activitybarn.com.
