The temperature is dropping, the days are short, and snow is on the ground–it can only mean one thing: time for tubing! Ruidoso’s Winter Park is known as the premier tubing and snow play area in New Mexico. (It has three separate hills dedicated for tubing!) Lace up those snow boats, put on a heavy jacket and some waterproof pants, and head on over to Ruidoso’s Winter Park.
Located in Alto, New Mexico, Ruidoso’s Winter Park has been called “The Holy Grail of Winter Tubing”

Ruidoso’s Winter Park has three Magic Carpet Lifts, which bring tubers to the top of the hill with an effortless climb. This way, you can get way more runs in than you would if you had to walk back up the mountain!

With three separate hills, Ruidoso’s Winter Park has it all. The “A Hill” is an intermediate hill and is the park’s most popular one.

Ruidoso’s Winter Park also has a “Penguin Park” for those who may be a little nervous on the “A Hill.” The Penguin park is meant for children shorter than 42."

Finally, if you are looking for something huge, head on over to the “B Hill.” The B hill is big, exciting, and a little bit scary!

When you are done tubing for the day–or if you just need a short break to warm up and relax–the picnic tables allow for a perfect view of the slopes. You can also enjoy a bite to eat or a cup of hot chocolate here.
