Upstate New York is home to the longest snow tubing runs and they are only an hour away from Utica.

Despite many thinking Hunter Mountain has the longest runs at 1000 feet, Maple Ridge Snow Park in Lowville, New York, actually has the longest snow tubing lanes in the state at over 1200 feet. There's even a 100-foot vertical drop.

You don't have to worry about walking back up that big hill either. They have tows to pull you up so you can sit back and enjoy the spectacular views of the Black River Valley and the Adirondacks.
