Event Details
JOC SNOWTUBING
PARTY!
YAY!!!!!!
Ski Campgaw no longer takes groups on weekends, and we were
forced to find alternatives this year. Several people told us about how awesome
Woodbury is.
What makes it awesome?
This is a real Snowtubing park with a total of ten
lanes, with single tubes, and group tubes for use. Some of the lanes are very
advanced with high speed steep slopes along with bumps and turns. Others are
beginner trails. In brief, this ain't no ski resort afterthought -- This
park was designed for fun in the snow!
To see a video of the tubing, check out http://www.wfsb.com/video/18496795/index.html.
This is always one of JOC's biggest and most fun events of the year with anywhere from 70-120 people attending. Whether you
are new and have been lurking on the list for a long time, or have been a regular for a while, don't miss out on this fun event!
Throughout the night, we will be able to relax in
their lodge which is right next to the tubing run, where there will be snacks
provided. All food, is, of course, Kosher.
PRICE
Along with a real snowtubing park comes steeper prices. Their
group rate is $36. We are charging $39 (early bird) to cover paypal fees, and
some snack food that we are providing. We do not make any money on this
trip. The good news: The session is a 3 hour session! This
gives you plenty of time to tube the 10 runs, and socialize at the park, or in
the lodge, where we have a reserved space.
TRANSPORTATION
We will be getting there via carpool. A week prior,
we will send out a spreadsheet of drivers, and you will be responsible to make
arrangement to get to Woodbury. The drive is about an hour from my home in
westchester, a bit more from the city.
WHAT IS THE TUBING LIKE?
The tubing lanes vary, and there are different levels available. As written above, there are giant tubes for groups of people, or single tubes available. Fun, fun, fun!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Layer up with a shirt (synthetic is best), a
sweater (fleece) and a warm jacket. If you have
ski pants, that's your best bet for your lower half. Non-cotton socks are best
for your feet, and don't forget gloves, and a warm hat. A neck gaiter is a nice
plus. Skirts are doable.
If you have reason to believe that I, or other mischievous folk, will be tripping you from behind with tubes, then wear butt pads :)
IS THIS FOR SINGLES ONLY?
No! JOC is an outdoors club open to all, although, a majority of attendees will be single.

I HEARD A RUMOR THAT THE LAST RUN IS NAKED. IS
THIS TRUE?
Well, not exactly. But it is a JOC tradition to go nearly naked. This is, of course, optional :)
