I have taken my daughter to a small area near the Hyak exit off of 90. On the north side of the freeway, there is a large area frequented by snowmobilers and backcountry skiers. If you walk over the bridge and up the forest service road 100 yds or so, there was a small run down off of the road on the right. It twisted down a footpath. It had pint-sized bank turns and small jumps (1' or so). It was perfect for a plastic saucer and a 5 yr old.
Of course it was an old-fashioned run. No tow ropes, no safety cones, trees on either side. Just a path and snow. I thought it was perfect. If you are looking for a more "engineered" run, the Mountaineers have a lodge and tubing run at Snoqualmie. Members and guests can ride the tubes and use the toe rope.

Over the holidays we spent a few days in E. Washington. My 3-year-old daughter got a chance to go sledding a couple of times on an easy slope in a city park. She got that look that fathers of 3 year olds live for. You've seen it. The one that says "Lord, you can take me now if you want 'cause nothing is ever going to be better than this." I'm looking for a good place for a similar adventure somewhere between, say, North Bend and Cle Elum. Any suggestions?
