Frosty Fat Bike series and family fun at Nordic Valley Ski resort

Nordic Valley ski resort is hosting a Frosty Fat Bike series and then a family fun day on December 31st 2016. What is a fat bike you ask? It's a bike with fat knobby tires made to ride in the snow and the Frosty Fat Bike series should be some great fun. If you are looking for a great place to take your kids for a great time the family fun day is it. It is open at 9am and runs to 9pm with a torch parade and fireworks at 6pm to celebrate the new year. Visit their website at www.nordicvalley.com for more information.

Yes, you can go tubing or sledding

Image
Anyone with children knows just now much fun going down a hill on a sled or tube can be. The great thing is that there are two places to go for fun tubing and many other places for both sledding or tubing. Snowbasin offers a 4 lane tubing hill that provides fun for all ages. The tubing hill is located at the former finish line of the 2002 Downhill ski course. Access to the top of the hill is provided by a hand tow lift. No need to bring your own tube as one is included with your ticket purchase. For more information visit their website at http://develop.snowbasin.com/the-mountain/tubing-hill Wasatch Parc operates a tubing hill located at Nordic Valley Ski Resort. The fun part of it is that you don't go straight down the hill, there are turns. Then once at the bottom you are pulled back up again, no walking. Tubes are also included with the purchase of a ticket. Their website is: http://www.wasatchparc.com/ If you are interested in going to find a spot of your own for t
