SNOW TUBING

Moonshine Mountain Snow Tubing — Hendersonville, North Carolina

A Fun, Down-Home Winter Spot in the Mountains

Moonshine Mountain Snow Tubing sits along Willow Road in Hendersonville, NC, tucked into a quiet mountain hollow just south of Asheville. It’s one of those places that feels like a genuine Western North Carolina winter tradition — rustic, quirky, and full of charm. With easy access, plenty of parking, and big mountain scenery all around, it’s a favorite for families, locals, and visitors looking for snowy fun without needing skis or lots of gear.

What Makes Their Snow Tubing Special

The tubing hill at Moonshine Mountain is known for being steep, fast, and over 500 feet long, giving riders a good rush of speed whether you’re going solo or linking together in a big “train.” They also have a lift to bring you back up the hill, so you’re not trekking uphill after every run. The park’s playful and rustic personality shows up everywhere — from the quirky decorations to the friendly staff — making it feel more like a mountain backyard party than a commercial attraction.

Operating Season & Hours

Moonshine Mountain generally opens mid-December through early March, depending on weather and snowmaking conditions. Their typical hours include Friday evenings, Saturdays all day, and Sunday afternoons, with bonus hours on holidays and school breaks. Because mountain weather can change quickly, they update their operating times often and encourage guests to check before making the drive.

Prices & Discounts

Tickets run $40 per person for a 1 hour and 45-minute session, and children and adults pay the same rate. The park is cash-only, though they do keep an ATM on site. They allow large groups but don’t usually offer major discounts unless arranged ahead of time.

How to Book Snow Tubing

Reservations are required and can be made online through their booking page. Once you reserve your session, you simply show up a bit early, sign your waiver, grab your tube, and hit the hill. Walk-ins aren’t guaranteed, especially on busy weekends.

Helpful Tips Before You Go

• Dress warmly — waterproof gloves, boots, and layers will make your day much more comfortable.

• The hill has a 36-inch height minimum, and the lift has its own weight limit.

• Because they take cash only, bring enough for tickets, snacks, and drinks.

• They often have a food truck, hot chocolate, snacks, and a fire pit for warming up between runs.

• The atmosphere is rustic and very “mountain local,” with lots of fun photo-ops and a relaxed, homegrown feel.

• Always check their latest weather or operating updates before heading out.
