The reservoir is nestled at the bottom of a deep gorge carved by the mixed waters of the Middle Fork of the American and Rubicon rivers. If you arrive after a recent snowfall, the sight of a white-cloaked canyon gorge, with dazzling sunlight reflected by ice crystals hanging from bare branches, will take your breath away. Upon stepping out of your vehicle, your breath will cause steamy vapors to billow around you. With each intake, the sharp scents of winter, the smell of new snow and the tartness of wet rock mixed with damp vegetation, will excite the senses....

...first day out on snow. There is no long haul carrying gear from a far off parking structure. It's car to slopes with little effort. The lifts are all within site. The niche Soda carves is one that takes families into the sport without immersing them into high priced, high paced resorts that can be all too intimidating. The snow tubing is all about big smiles and tummy ticklers. Its got all the atmosphere of fresh snow, beautiful mountain scenery and an escape from all that is hectic below the tree line. Kids line up each and every weekend to enjoy.
Planet Kids, geared for children ages 8 or younger and under 42'' tall now has 2 tubing carousels, a tubing lane and more! Planet Kids' main feature is a NEW Moving carpet designed to help kids go up the small slope and teach them how to get down. Just a short 40 foot slope gives kids plenty of room to learn how to stop and turn. Open daily from 10am to 3pm, rental equipment is included in the Planet Kids package.
Kids ages 6-12 can hop on their very own pint-sized snowmobile and try out the sport of snowmobiling, kid style. Soda off...
