Tube Tahoe: So Tubular!

I have never been tubing in my entire life. This opportunity presented yet another FIRST for me. Woohoo.

"Join the Tahoe Chamber for a winter Chamber Mixer at Tube Tahoe! Connect with fellow Chamber members in a festive winter setting—enjoy tubing and s’mores in cozy igloos from 5:00–6:00 PM, then head to the Lodge for light appetizers, drinks, live music by The Imposters, and relaxed networking from 6:00–7:00 PM. It’s the perfect way to mix business, winter fun, and community connection, don’t miss it!"
Steve and I have tried to attend as many Chamber events as possible. The company is always welcoming and interesting, and learning about new-to-us businesses continues to surprise and delight. We have passed Tube Tahoe dozens of times and never thought to stop. We've missed out.
"Tube Tahoe is the go-to destination for family fun in South Lake Tahoe. Come enjoy our 500 foot tubing lanes and picturesque view of Echo Summit and Mt. Tallac. Come get tubular with us!" Side note: the word tubular became a synonym for "good" in the 80s, when surfers began using it as a description for the tube-like shape of an ideal surfing wave. What a fun use of a nostalgic word to describe he fun found here.
We knew it was going to be magical when we got to the tubing hill by walking through this whimsical igloo. What fun.
By the way, this is the berm that prevents one from sliding right into the parking lot. It was of great comfort knowing that it was there.
Our ride here was the most thrilling 26 seconds we've experienced in years. Steve captured it beautifully in this video. It is certainly worth a watch (I've seen it a dozen times, I'm still cracking up). Look at that view. WOW.

Throughout the property can be found these warming igloos. For tonight's event, each was supplied with s'more stations. These people know how to throw a party.
When darkness fell and it was no longer safe to be speeding down slopes, the festivities moved into the lodge.

Three tables bursting with charcuterie. I only wish I arrived more hungry.
Live music provided by The Imposters was so amazing that Steve and I were compelled to dance. Oh my gosh what fun.
Owners Mark and Dee Budgell could not be nicer people. Their entire staff is some of the kindest, welcoming employees we've met. This place just oozes JOY. What a night. Truly unforgettable. We're bringing our grandchildren next.
We could not have loved this night out any more!
