Well I assume you want to know where to go to use said flat thingie? Or do you want to know where to purchase?
Eitherway last time I went to South Lake Tahoe, way before I got there there was a little sign that said SNO PARK, and low and behold.. there was the snow park, it cost $5 to "park"/use the place per car. Went innertubing down the hill, made snow angels, the works, and yes you can use those plastic flat thingies too, just if you go up the hill any distance they won't last too long

We've taken our Boys to this place a couple of times and they loved it.

It would be a pretty quick drive from San Jose.
Best of luck,

I'm guessing that's the size of the main lodge.
They have a big hill (the website says 15 acres) that is dedicated to snow play. They rent equipment.
The bigger kids take the tubes to the top and slide down. If I rememder right, they have a system to haul the tubes while the people walk up.
The 2 times we were there was on a weekend. The hill was big enough for everyone.
If you want to drive that direction, I don't think you'll be disappointed. They are nearby the Dodge Ridge Ski Resort.
Best of luck,
Roy

Hey Phong,
I would recommend Yuba Gap snow park in Reno, they charge $5 per car. There are many place that you can go in Reno/N. Tahoe such as snow tubing, sledding. If this is your kid's first time to the mountain, then you might want to wait for a few weeks after this Artic cold go away, else it's no fun.

Yeah the place I was talking about I believe is a state owned "Sno Park" hence why it costs $5 a day per car (not a per person rate), also it's not a groomed park like the other places, there's a nice little hill for you to do that stuff, but no defined "runs" it still was good fun pain sliding really fast hitting a make shift ramp getting air then slamming back down on the inner tube to bounce out and hit the not so soft snow
As to the crowds, I couldn't tell you because I went at the end of the snow season last year.. sometime in April IIRC.
