Feel the Thrill

We strongly recommend making reservations in advance. We sell a limited amount of tickets per session and therefore sell out quickly – especially for weekends and holidays. We only have walk-up tickets available if we have not already sold out online in advance.

Our ticket sales are updated in real-time, meaning if we do have cancellations, our website will update automatically, and those tickets will be available for booking.

We DO NOT offer phone reservations. All reservations must be made online via our website.

If you need to make changes to your reservation, you have up to 48 hours in advance to make changes to your reservation or to reschedule your reservation.

Pre-purchased tickets can be canceled and partially refunded up to 72 hours in advance. There is a $5 cancellation fee held per ticket; the remaining balance is fully refundable. No refunds will be issued within 72 hours of your reservation.

To add or remove tickets to your reservation, to cancel, or reschedule to another date or session time, please call us directly at (828) 963-6561 to speak with a customer service representative. You can reach us from 9am – 5pm daily.

Please keep in mind, snow tubing is an outdoor activity and is subject to the weather. Rain, warm temperatures, exceedingly high winds, and unsafe road conditions due to snow/freezing rain/ice are the most common weather conditions that MAY cause us to cancel snow tubing sessions.

Normally, if we choose to close for inclement weather we do not make that decision until the day of. That decision is based on multiple factors. We do not have a set weather policy.

If we do decide to close due to inclement weather, anyone who has pre-purchased tickets will have the option to move to a later available date or be issued a full refund. We try to make those decisions as early as we possibly can. For cancellations, we will reach out to everyone with reservations via text and email. This is why it is so essential to ensure the contact information you booked with is entered correctly.

We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to your scheduled session time. This allows for time to park, check-in, get your tickets, and get lined up before the session begins.

Late arrivals will not receive extra time to snow tube.

Unfortunately, no. We do not offer any activities that are safe for children under the age of 3 years old.

We also do not offer any play areas for children who are not participating in snow tubing.

Yes, children who are not tall enough or capable of reaching their feet to the ground to stop themselves at the bottom of the run will need to ride with an adult.

Yes. Anyone planning to participate in snow tubing will need their own individual ticket, even young children who will be riding with an adult.

No.

Visitors who are not participating in snow tubing are still welcome to come along and watch from our viewing deck. There is also indoor seating for visitors in our lodge. They do not need to purchase a ticket to visit our facility. However, you cannot enter the snow tubing area without a ticket.

We no longer offer clothing rentals.

There are several businesses in the surrounding area that do offer gear and clothing rentals, however. Please feel free to contact our customer support team for local recommendations.

We do have some snow gear for sale in our gift shop, sizes and availability vary throughout the season.

No, parking is free here at Hawksnest.

On busy holidays and weekends, our parking is extremely limited, so we have staff stationed in the lot to assist.

If we are open for snow tubing then, yes, we have snow! Even when there is no natural snow, we keep a heavy snow base and make snow as needed, weather permitting. To see our current conditions for yourself, you can check out our webcam.

We recommend wearing waterproof, well-insulated clothing and snow boots.

While there are house rentals located here in Seven Devils, there are also house rentals, Air Bnbs, and a variety of chain hotels in both the Boone and Banner Elk area. Please visit our Recommended Lodging page for more information.

The road conditions are passable unless there is an active weather event. In general the DOT does a good job of maintaining the roads surrounding and directly to Hawksnest. 4WD vehicles are recommended but not necessarily essential.

Yes! We have hot drinks, light food & snacks, and locally crafted beer available on site at our first floor cafe.

We do not recommend participating in snow tubing for anyone who is pregnant or anyone with pre-existing conditions and physical limitations.
