You can’t do much better in January on a sunny calm day than enjoy a ride down a hill on a snow tube. Richard Gosselin and his five-year-old granddaughter Riley were enjoying a fun day of tubing at the Tri-Town Ski and Snowboard Village on opening weekend January 26. The ski facility is open for the season offering tubing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, learn-to-ski and -snowboard lessons, cross-country trails, a cafeteria and equipment rentals.
