i was really hyped up on the fact that my physics class is going on a field trip early february to go snow tubing. it will take about 2.5 hours to get there, so this is going to be a whole day field trip which is going to be awesome. but there is still one thing that ponders me...WHAT IS SNOW TUBING???? all my physics teacher told me was that there is around a 90 feet drop or something like that....

usually you can rent them. ask your prof., or call ahead.


*edit*

I meant "almost all of the time, unless the place you're going to is some backwards-about-to-go-bankrupt-shanty"

The wussified way of snow tubing is riding an innertube down a hill. The real mans way is tieng the tube to a truck and doing a little off roading. Since there won't be a truck tie it to the bus.:D

my teacher told us that none of the physics teachers were going because six flags just doesn't gave a crap about "physic days" anymore.

its lots of fun, at breckonridge, breckenridge... however you spell it there are usually really funny australian people. Also ask them to spin you, sounds scary but its a 100.47849% better.

Yeah, I used to do it at Angelfire all the time. It can be even more fun than skiing!

i used to do that at a little place that had a dedicated hill for it. no lift though, so that sucked, but it was worth it to go barrelling down the hill! wahoo!
