πŸ”οΈ Tube World

Operated by Cataloochee Ski Area, Tube World is Maggie Valley's dedicated snow-tubing park. Located directly along main Soco Roadβ€”about four miles down the mountain from the main ski slopesβ€”it provides high-speed winter fun for families and groups looking for an effortless snow day without needing skis or snowboards.

✨ Highlights & Features

πŸ›— Conveyor Carpet Lift

Effortlessly hauls tubing riders and their tubes back to the top of the hill, eliminating the climb so you can maximize your runs.

Features dedicated snowmaking guns and grooming equipment to ensure smooth sliding conditions throughout the winter season.

A dedicated, shallow snow-play zone designed specifically for younger children who do not meet the height requirement for the main hill.
