No Kansas hill below prints a charge for sledding on it. Nationally 140 of the 202 hills print no charge at all, and the ones that do are nearly always the two things that cost an agency money to run: a tubing operation that rents the tube, and a tow that carries you back up.
Kansas sells no winter parking permit. 19 states do, and on nearly every hill that needs one the money is for the plowed lot rather than for the slope.
Tubes going back up a run under their own power. A tubing hill is the one kind on these pages that usually charges, because the agency is renting the tube or running a lift rather than opening a slope, and it is also the one most likely to publish fixed hours and a conditions line. Eighteen of the hills here run tubing; most of the rest are a slope and a car park. “Snow Tubing”, Iain Laurence, CC BY-SA 3.0
