Idaho Adventure: Snow tubing at the McCall Activity Barn

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Today's ‘Idaho Adventure’ takes us zipping down perfectly groomed tubing runs at the McCall Activity Barn, an activity that shows us what winter fun in the Long Valley is all about.

We caught up with several tube riders on the hill who said this about their experience

Ava Satoff said, "it's really fun because you can go really fast."

Bryson Solberg said, "it's so fun, they're just so fast, and I just love how quick they are."

As you can imagine, smiles aren't hard to come by at the McCall Activity Barn.

The winter landscape and five lanes of snow tubing are the perfect recipe for fun.

"It's just a happy place to be, we've had people call it the Disneyland of McCall and I believe it," says Michele Cretser, Activity Barn Manager.

April Whitney, Communication Director for Brundage Mountain says, “We love having that be part of the Brundage Mountain family, we feel like we can help introduce our guests to this experience, help introduce those guests to the other experiences that we have and just really make sure that everyone who visits McCall gets a taste of all the great things there are to do out here."

The tubing hill has been around for nearly 20 years now, and thanks to the new 600-foot conveyor lift, it's a breeze for anyone to make it back up to the top.

"This is just much easier for people of all ages, you just step on the conveyor belt, it takes you and your tube to the top and you can just do a lot of laps with little effort," says Whitney.”

Snow making is also new to the tubing hill, it allows them to have a better hand on the ups and downs of winter at 5,000 feet.

Hours are normally limited to the weekend but, the Activity Barn is will be open daily for the week of the McCall Winter Carnival.
