(Editor’s Note: Eko Backen no longer offers snow tubing.)

In a state as full of winter fun as Minnesota, it’s not hard to find an activity on a snowy day. Skiing and snowboarding, ice skating and ice fishing are all fantastic things to do when the temperature drops. But don’t forget about one of the most fun activities you can do in the snow: snow tubing. Requiring little skill and no more than warm winter gear, it’s the perfect activity for families with members of all ages. And in Minnesota, there are a few great snow tubing places to choose from. One of the best is Eko Backen in Scandia, Minnesota.

Eko Backen is a popular spot that serves as a picnic and wedding destination in the summer and a snow tubing hill in the winter.
