Killington
Grab an inner tube and hit the slopes at this cool alpine tubing attraction in Vermont. Located at Killington Resort, these slides let you whiz down a mountain at top speeds.

Unlike some summer tubing spots, Killington’s slides are a totally dry experience. They rely on special materials to keep you zipping along.

The gentle bumps and slopes of the slides translate into serious fun when you’re speeding down the course. And when you’ve reached the bottom, you can make your way right back up to the top for more sliding action.

Unfortunately, this experience is limited to kids due to the weight restriction of 70 pounds. However, grownups can have just as much fun watching the little ones bounce along before exploring the rest of Killington’s Adventure Center themselves.

The Alpine Tubing experience at Killington is just one part of their Adventure Center. Tackle the sky-high jump tower, work your way through the ropes course, or race your friends on a zip line. You can also ride their amazing "Beast" mountain coaster for some added thrills.
