Batavia Polarwave Snowtubing In New York

Soon after a few days of adaptation towards the Buffalo's winter weather, I followed my friends for my first snow tubing in Polarwave Snowtubing in Batavia, New York. It was still really cold for me at that moment upon arrival to our destination in the afternoon when the afternoon here was "not" an afternoon.

What snow tubing exactly is? It is a recreational activity where an individual rides on top of an inner "donut-shaped" tube (We will call it tayar) on snowy slope or a hill propelled by the force of gravity towards the bottom of the slope or hill which is actually fun and exciting. The taller and longer the slope is, the more excitement you will get!

We got our passes as soon as we arrived at Polarwave Snowtubing from the counter. The ticket was to be pinned with our jackets. We got ourselves few hours of passes to start our joy queueing up to the slope for our snow tubing.

MERRITTSLAU.COM We dragged our "donuts" to the queue.

MERRITTSLAU.COM We were sitting on our "donuts" which were hooked on the machines that dragged each us up towards the slope.

MERRITTSLAU.COM Yes, that is the American flag on the top of the slope we got onto by the machines!

Snow tubing was really awesome after all, we tried different tactics snow tubing with our "donuts" down the slopes in either pairs, groups, and individually. If you are snow tubing with a bunch of friends and especially in a big group down the slope, position yourself at the back of the group so that you could feel the pulling force as you are going down and spin your "donut" if you are going down individually. We spent our passes wisely over the excitement and enjoyment before we decided to leave and have our dinner.

Photo sessions before we actually left the place. It was the first experience I played under the snow and since my arrival to the United States of America. Winter, it was not bad though to me though. Or we came from all-time hot weather location perhaps?

    1. Hahaha! How I wish i can hike here some day.
      It would be more fun if the slopes are more higher and steep enough. Come find me next time and we go together!
