My wife and I were thinking about taking our daughters tubing this weekend up at Hawks Nest.  I'm reading up on it and finding mixed reviews.  On top of the reviews the weather looks to be iffy at best.   

Have any of you been to Hawks Nest?  Can you tell me how your experience went?   
Its calling for both snow and rain on Saturday, but not sure its worth the drive up.

Thanks in advance for the help, 

Twill- I've never hit the hills in NC with the man made snow, so going with warmer weather doesn't make sense to me. how does the snow and tube runs hold up in warmer weather?  What about rain?  Saturday is showing 80% chance of snow turning to rain.

if the snow is bad, they have ziplines that run all winter. I went up there to tube a couple of years back, but the tickets were all sold out. I saw more folks standing in lines then sliding down the hill

i've been to Hawk a few times in recent years, they do a good job w the tubing.  the ski mtn was great, but no more ski (snowboard) runs  

def check weather and web cams.  this past weekend may have been one of last for this 
season with the warm temps we've had recently and that are expected rest of week...

i haven't been to Jonas Ridge tubing but hear good things about it too.

winterplace wv has steep runs that are epic but much longer drive to get there.

if you want a non-snow tube run that is close to Charlotte check out Crowders Mtn (GasCo yo!) (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
