RSN Editors' Review
Along with a respectable vertical and a friendly, relaxed family atmosphere, Mt. Abram offers a new tubing park this year, 1350 feet, the longest in Maine, complete with its own lift. A specially designed cable-tow lift hooks onto the tube. You sit in the tube for a two minute ride to the top. Once there, three tubing runs await you, each sculpted into a miniature half-pipe that controls the direction of the tube.
