Ski Area Adds Giant Tubing Section

Ski area Snow Awesome in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan recently added a Giant Tubing section for funseekers. Giant Tubes are extremely large tires made from huge mining tractors.

“These tubes are ginormous,” said Wally “Tubeski” Wallersonster, general manager of Snow Awesome. “It’s one of our most popular attractions now. We still get mostly skiers and snowboarders, but Giant Tubers are on the rise.”

Giant Tubes can accommodate 70 or 80 people on one tube. There was a setback earlier this year when one Giant Tube jumped the lane it was in, floated out into the parking lot, smashing cars and running over people until it came to rest down the hill at the local drive-in movie theater.

“The movie was ‘The Thing From Space’,” explained drive-in manager Joe “Speak Easy” Torteliniski. “When the Giant Tube crashed into several cars here, people actually thought it was some part of the movie, like all of a sudden it was 3D or something like that.”
