For more information, visit the National Park Service Winter Recreation Page.
Snowboarding and Tubing
Mt. Rainier National Park offers the great tradition of snowboarding and tubing. These activities are available at the Paradise Snow Play Area when there is sufficient snow cover to protect the underlying vegetation. Bring your boards and tubes since this type of rental equipment is not offered. Plastic sleds are available for purchase at the Longmire General Store.
