Snow Tubing, Zip Lines and Other Non-Skiing Activities

Not a skier or snowboarder? There's still plenty to do at ski resorts and outdoor centers around the state

Don’t know how to ski or snowboard but want to experience some winter fun at a ski resort this year? Many places offer much more than just ski slopes — snow tubing, winter zip line tours, snowshoeing and ice skating (to name a few) are great ways to enjoy the snow and ski resort atmosphere without the expense and time of learning to ski or snowboard.
