Sign up for tubing at Aubrey Watzek!

Please purchase a spot for every family member attending.

Come join us for a day of snow tubing and winter wonderland play at Aubrey Watzek Lodge at White River on Mt Hood.

Claim your spot ASAP. We have reserved 52 spaces for our Pack. If there is more interest, we might be able to increase our reservation count, but we need to do this earlier rather than later as other Cub Scout units will be trying to register as well.

REMINDER, you WILL need a Sno-Park permit. These are sold at a number of convenience stores/gas stations/etc on the way up the mountain. You can also buy them ONLINE HERE. Make sure to order them early, as it take a week for delivery.
