Chestnut Ridge tubing hill opens Friday

After years in the making, the new tubing hill at Chestnut Ridge Park & Campground is gearing up for its first fully functional weekend.

Monongalia County Director of Parks & Recreation J.R. Petsko said the frigid temperatures and the park’s ability to make snow have the slope ready for action.

There are two tubing sessions available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday; from 10 a.m.-noon and from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at moncountyparks.com.

Each session is limited to 50 people and only Chestnut Ridge rental tubes are permitted.

The Saturday morning session and the Sunday afternoon session are sold out. As of Wednesday evening, there were 10 tickets left for Saturday afternoon and 25 remaining for Sunday morning. Both Friday sessions had more than 40 tickets remaining.
