Only in Your State | New Mexico | December 21, 2018 | By Emily Jamar

While there’s not always much snow in the desert in the winter, this snow tubing park and play area in Ruidoso knows just how to fix that. This Ruidoso is home to the largest snowmaking system in the area, and provides all the snow you need all winter long. Get ready to spend a day going up and down some of the snowiest hills in the Land of Enchantment for an experience that is scarce, and much underrated to New Mexicans. This snow tubing park is the family fun activity that you need to try this winter.

Welcome to Ruidoso Winter Park, located right by Ruidoso in Alto, New Mexico.

This snow tubing park is the best in New Mexico, and one of the most underrated winter parks in the nation. There’s truly something for people of all ages at the Winter Park. This park is much more than a snow tubing hill with zip lining, play areas, and much more.

The Winter Park is made completely with artificial snow with one of the largest snowmaking machines in the area. No matter where the snow falls, there will always be enough for a winter wonderland right here in Ruidoso.

This snow tubing hill is fully equipped with state-of-the-art Magic Carpet lifts, so you will never get tired walking up hill. The tubing area has more lift capacity than any other in the Rockies. You can use all of that energy to go get a slice of pizza from the snack bar.

Giant tubes are available for families that want to experience the rush together. These tubes can carry four to six people and are available on a first-come first-serve basis. Smaller tubes can also be linked together so you can all stick together.

Only kids 42 inches and taller are able to ride on the Big Hill, but fear not – the Kidz Korral is a designated area for smaller children to play safely in the snow.

For a true party, guests can rent out a VIP igloo. Igloo packages include your very own furnished igloo with heat for hand warming, pizza, and refreshments. These packages also include zip lining passes and reserved tubes.

The Ruidoso Winter Park is a true winter experience for New Mexicans everywhere, and the most underrated snow tubing hill in the state.

Get out in the snow today!
