SNOWLESS TUBING
Black Bear Snow Tubing in Hendersonville offers a slick and satisfying twist on traditional winter tubing with its snowless, synthetic lanes. These high-tech tracks feature specially designed slick mats that simulate real snow conditions—meaning you get smooth, fast, and reliable rides even when temperatures don’t cooperate. The consistent glide stays cool under your tube, creating the exhilarating rush of snow tubing year‑round without needing snowfall or cold weather. It’s the same 600‑foot hill and heart-pumping 80‑foot drop, but crafted for any season.
What makes Black Bear’s snowless experience especially enticing is its ease and accessibility. You hop right into a cozy inner tube and take your thrilling ride down a perfectly groomed lane—no snow boots, waterproof jackets, or cold-weather gear required. The tube tugger lift whisks you back up effortlessly so all your energy goes into the fun part. Sessions are timed in convenient one- or two-hour blocks, and group pricing makes it ideal for birthdays, school outings, or casual weekends. It’s a cheerful, low-barrier adventure that captures the joy of tubing without worrying about icy conditions or deep chill.
Adding to the charm is the welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. Operated with small-business pride, Black Bear welcomes guests into a warm, hospitable space. The lodge offers a cozy setting stocked with snacks and hot beverages, and the friendly staff help ensure smooth, safe runs. A nearby playground keeps little ones entertained, making it a full afternoon of family fun. Snowless or snow-covered, the experience blends nostalgia, excitement, and local charm into a memorable tubing outing any time of year.
