Ski & snow tubing
Sell tubing sessions, lift tickets and season passes
Winter operations live and die by session capacity and weather. Sell two-hour tubing sessions, day lift tickets, rentals and season passes from one page — and control how many people are on the hill at once.
How this type of ticketing works
Snow tubing and small ski areas run on fixed session capacity: a set number of tubes or lift chairs per two-hour window. Selling online in advance means you know how many staff to schedule and you never oversell the hill.
In TixSimple, each session is a time slot with its own cap. Guests buy a session, add rentals or a helmet, sign a waiver through a required checkout field, and arrive with a QR code. Staff scan at the ticket window and the pass is marked used.

Fee example: Two-hour tubing session
A $32 ticket carries a TixSimple platform fee of $0.75 (1.3% + $0.33). If you sell 400 tickets, the total platform fee is $300. Stripe processing is separate and you choose whether to pass fees to the buyer or absorb them.

Weather, groups and repeat visits
Weather closures are part of winter. Because payouts land in your own Stripe account, you control refunds and can reissue tickets for another date instead of refunding when guests are flexible.
Group and school outings work well as coupon codes or issued tickets: send a code to the school, or issue tickets straight to a list of email addresses after an invoice is paid off-platform.
- Season passes with early-bird pricing tiers
- Rental and locker add-ons sold at checkout
- Group codes for schools, scouts and church groups
- Per-session capacity that closes automatically when full
Frequently asked questions
Can I limit how many people are on the hill per session?
Yes. Each time slot has its own inventory cap, so once a session sells out it closes and guests are pushed to the next available window.
How do waivers work?
Add a required attendee field for the waiver acknowledgment with the participant's name and, for minors, a guardian name. Responses export with your attendee list.
Can I sell rentals with the ticket?
Yes. Create rental items as their own ticket types with inventory that matches your gear count, so you never rent more boots than you own.
What happens if we close for weather?
You decide. Refund through Stripe, or issue replacement tickets for a new date at no cost — issued tickets are free on TixSimple.
