Tubing on Lazurnoye is a modern type of winter holiday for the devotees of a healthy lifestyle. This entertainment is reminiscent of sledding, only driving is much more convenient and safer, and the speed of descent from the mountain is much greater.
What is tubing?
Tubing is a fashionable entertainment that is available in the winter for everyone on specially equipped bases.
The second name for tubing is a cheesecake sled. This is a modern alternative to ice-skates and sledges on metal runners that get stuck in loose snow, making it difficult to move from the hill. Tubing glides perfectly even on freshly fluffy snow thanks to a voluminous chamber filled with air.
When folded, the rubber tubing is compact. It can be inflated directly on the hill. You can ride a tubing from any side of the mountain, hills or quarry. The only condition is that there should be no obstacles all the way during the descent: snags, stumps, trees, stones protruding from under the snow, and patches of bare land. Such obstructions can damage the rubberized shell of the cheesecake and cause personal injury.
It should be borne in mind that tubing bases often do not allow vacationers to use their own "cheesecake" sleds - they need to be rented.
Tubing on Lazurnoye (see photo in the article) is not only fun pokatushki with a long ice slide, but also a charge of vivacity and good mood. A fun adventure filled with fervent screams and exclamations when the “cheesecakes” rush one after another down from the very top of the many-meter high slides. Getting to the start is very convenient on the lift.
