about us

Coal Tubin’ exists to bring the recreational assets of Greater Johnstown to life! Whether it be Johnstown’s waterways, trails, mountains, or lakes, Coal Tubin’ has an activity to show off these resources to the world.

Started in 2009 by Chad Gontkovic and Jill Skowron-Gontkovic, the pair rapidly built a business based on low cost recreation options where you wouldn’t expect to find them; in a defunct industrial city. Redefining what it means to live, work, and play in Johnstown, Coal Tubin’ seeks to set the example of what recreation in Greater Johnstown can look like. Thank you for visiting our site and we hope that you’ll give us the opportunity to show you Johnstown’s new place in the world. How ya doin? Coal Tubin!
