Important information:

9am. meet at Starbucks Coffee. 899 W 7th St, Frederick, MD. Register, register and sign in the release form, receive the route sheet. Please bring cash: $36 / person.

A signed release is required for all tubing participants. Participants under 18 require parental signature.

9.30am. depart, motoring north through the hills and twisties of Thurmont and Cunningham falls state park.
11am. arrived, check in, receive the pass-card, do some group pictures in front of the club house, get ready to have fun and free at leisure.
12pm - 2pm, The fun time.
  • 100% fun with zero effort: enjoy all the fun of zooming down the perfectly carved lane and relax on the moving carpet as it conveys you and your tube back to the top.
  • Don't have to be an expert skier or boarder to have fun tubing: anyone can tube, even if you've never so much as set foot on snow before!
  • It's fun for the entire family! From the kids ages 5 and up to the grandparents, this is an inexpensive, fun way to pass the winter days. There's even a separate kiddie tubing hill for children ages 4 and under.
2 - 3pm. Lunch time. At Bolder Ridge main building. Pizzas and soft beverages will be served at our private party room (location TBA upon arrival)



Here is the list. The final count is 38 participants / 20 MINIs.

And good news, there will be our MINI friends from Carlisle MINI and PhillyMINI Club joining us at the tubing as well.

This will be fun.

Thank you.

I called today, they said the snow is really nice.

By the way, don't forget you sunglasses, 2-way radio and some extra socks.

So.... Is the venue actually going to have waivers there to sign, or do we need to print our own and sign them and just hand them in? I forgot the ones that I printed out at home, and Brandy doesn't have a printer.....

I'm sorry we lose.

I finally had a chance to see the looks on the faces of the oncoming drivers.

The view through the windshield is better too. Watching all the MINIs snake through turns is really cool.

Playing catch-up is mighty fun also.

I would like to thank Chris for putting this all together.

Also, thanks to the nice folks from Carlisle MINI who came down to join us.

Looking forward to seeing you again at Import Carlisle.

i really wish i could have made it. you may remember that i told you guys i was going snowboarding last weekend, but it was canceled and we went yesterday. so while you guys were tubing at ski liberty, i was boarding at whitetail. too bad we couldnt have gone to the same place. but man was it fun. im kinda sore though (first timer snowboard noob). anyway, hope you guys had as much fun in the snow as i did.
