Are snow tubes worth it?
All you need is a decent snowfall and an incline to enjoy a thrilling ride on a snow tube. Snow tubes beat sleds hands down when it comes to enjoying a faster, more comfortable ride down the hill or mountainside. There are a number of variables at play when it comes to the speed of a sledge, and weight is certainly an important one. Assuming there is a reasonable amount of snow on the ground, heavier people tend to go faster as they can cut through the snow on top to make contact with the fast, slippery ice underneath.The maximum recommended speed is 30mph. A gentle driving style, sympathetic to the conditions is essential when using snow chains. Excessive acceleration and hard braking will put pressure on snow chains and may cause them to snap.
