I’ve got a new favorite phrase this winter and that would be “snow tubing.” Traditionally, snow tubing is something that people who don’t ski or snowboard do at a snow resort, usually reserved for kids and alcoholics.

We used to ride inner tubes in the snow as kids, although it was far more DIY. My Pops would get a huge old-school truck tire tube and blow it up for us. Then we’d find the best sledding hill, pile five kids on it and go careening down in a hysterical pile.
