On Saturday, a group of us went to the base and went tubing! They have a pretty good set up for this. If you notice the "groomed" hills behind Michael in the picture above, this is the area for tubing. You actually ride in real intertubes to go down these lanes. 
The best part of this whole tubing process was riding up the hill! Once you are ready to go back up, you take your tube to the operator, he wraps your tube rope around the master cord that pulls everyone up the hill, and then you just enjoy the ride! This was pretty sweet! This is the best winter activity ever...you get to be outside, do something exhilirating, and be lazy!!! What more could you ask for?!?!?! This photo is Michael all bundled up riding on his tube to the top of the hill.
This is just some of the view that you see riding up the hill! How beautiful! That building is the place where you rent skis, tubes, snowboards, etc. The lake is behind the building and I'm sure if you notice the little red tent on the right side of the lake? This is an ice fishing "shanty". This is also the lake where we were able to ride the dog sled!
The tubing crew! From right to left: Jill, Me, Michael, Linnea, Amy, Bryan, Cory, and random girl walking by! haha! Michael and I were both so glad that we went with a big group. It was so much fun with all of us!
Michael and me all bundled up after our tubing session was over. We had planned on tubing last year when we moved up here, however, we weren't immune to the cold yet and could not even fathom being outside for two hours to ride on a tube! Hahaha! Look at us now!
