Byram Recreation Department plans family snow-tubing trip Dec. 20

BYRAM - The Byram Township Parks and Recreation Dept. will host a family snow-tubing day on Thursday, Dec. 29, at Big Boulder Ski Resort in the nearby Pocono Mountains. Cost for the trip is $20. The bus will leave from the Byram Municipal Building on Mansfield Drive at 10 a.m. and return at 7 p.m. Snow tubing is similar to sledding but without having to haul a sled back up the hill. Big Boulder’s 12 snow-tubing chutes offer a choice of single, double or family chutes, with four snow-tubing lifts. Teens from 14 to 17 may come on their own with a buddy, providing medical forms and permission slips have been filled out in advance. Teens will be required to check in with chaperones at regular intervals throughout the day. Parents are responsible for children under age 14. Cost for the trip is $20. To register, go to the Byram Parks and Recreation office on Mansfield Drive between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. any weekday. For information, call 973-347-2500, ext.160/161.
