Zoom Down Snow Tube Runs at Ruidoso Winter Park
Get in touch with your inner child and go snow tubing. It’s a Ruidoso winter activity that’s fun for the whole family. There are lanes for racing your friends and a Magic Carpet conveyor belt for an uphill ride. Adrenaline junkies can descend individually, in tandem — or for the fastest and longest ride, in group clusters in a giant tube. After your chilly thrill, retreat to a warming VIP Igloo to cozy up in with a hot drink and a snack.
Stroll Midtown and Discover Great Shops and Restaurants.

The jingle of sleigh bells rings out throughout Midtown and Upper Canyon, where visitors can enjoy a winter sleigh ride and holiday lights sparkle in anticipation of the holiday events and New Year’s celebrations.
