I showed the picture of that cosmic tubing to my girlfriend and before I could say "look how dumb that is" she got really excited and asked if we could go. I'm hoping she forgets about it soon. 

Everybody makes mistakes. The important part is learning from them. Good luck.

I just don't see it happening.  Just a feeling

I don't see it happening ever. I see getting drunk happening plenty or at least a heavy buzz.

I have tubed twice with my kids (both before they tried skiing). And took them to do it two other times since, once as a birthday party for their friends and once as something to do with cousins, but did not join them those times

I like sledding better than tubing..does that make me weird??

The son and I went once at Blue, mainly because it was free with the season pass and we wanted to see what it was like.

Fun for the first run or two, then boredom set in.

Haven't gone since.  I'll stick to skiing.

 Being a skier, after 2 runs i wanted to go put my skis on and go enjoy myself on the slopes.  Snowtubing makes the slopes at BB look baller.

There's at least a half inch of new manmade snow on the picnic tables at Camelback. Way to get after it Cameltoe

Their website has been screwed up lately. The webcams are coming up really small, making it hard to see how much snow there is.

My guess is the webcams are frozen due to a technical glitch, and there's actually much more snow there than we're seeing.

It's happening...soon! My F5 key is getting worn out from refreshing the CB website.

It's only been 43 hours since they announced that a big announcement is coming soon. We just need to get them more time to prepare the announcement.

You missed the announcement that tubing will again be open?

Nope. They said this is a "big" announcement. You'll see, they'll surprise everyone and open 10 trails at once.

Yeah in January

Maybe a deal on a combined snow tubing / aquatopia ticket?

What will those 10 trails be covered with? Pixie dust??

Yesterday they posted a video of the cat grooming all the fresh powder. I think the powder is just too concentrated right now and they need to spread it around the mountain.

I might drive out there this weekend and take some pictures to prove that these webcam images are several weeks old.

Looks like Disneyland.  One reason i dislike the place.

I dont know the layout of Camelback too well, but wasnt that the intergalactic tubing slope they were grooming all the fresh powder on?

I didn't see any tubing lanes, so my guess is no. I'll analyze the video tonight to determine the precise location. I think in one part of the video, you can see some waterslides or something on the edge of the video. I can use the waterslides to pinpoint the exact black diamond they are grooming.
