Camelback Mountain -Your snow tubing experience was a huge disappointment to our family and many others who vocalized their complaints on Saturday. Snow tubing was our kids Christmas present this year and I knew I needed to buy tickets ahead of time. So 10 days beforehand I get on to find that you ve skyrocketed prices to 75$ per person. So after dumping 450$ to take my family tubing, we get there to find traffic gridlock, no parking, and crowds. Oh yea- we still had to pay for parking. The real kicker was the 4, yes 4 total times we actually Made it down the hill in the 2 hour time a lot. You hold the entire sum of lanes until every last person has exited the bottom- with only one exit- making each run take 20 min total. While your employees yell at the top to make people sit at the point that they can t even hold back their tubes on the hill. While families wait in line for 45 min or more as kids get cold, hungry, and wet and toddlers meltdown. You successfully made tubing an elitist sport, only affordable to the few or the families that dump savings into a now once in a lifetime experience, in a year where families are struggling and craving any safe experience they can get. You should be demonstrating your generosity and dedication to your community s family friendly tourism , especially in a year where so many are struggling. Your greed will far exceed the best my family made out of the experience in my eyes. But it was a good lesson in teaching my kids to make the best out of a bad situation- so I thank you for that. We will look to other resorts for family fun in the future.
