The Magic Mountain Recreation Area at Big Bear Lake
Hhome of the world-famous Alpine Slide, offers Family fun activities year round. In the summer there is a cool wet water slide and in the winter there is plenty of fun snowplay for the whole family.

The Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is open all year and is Southern California's only authentic bobsled experience. Begin with a scenic chairlift ride to the top. From there riders navigate their own individually controlled sleds, each with teflon runners and ball bearing wheels, down their choice of two quarter-mile long cement tracks filled with high-banked turns and long straightways.

There are a variety of attractions at the recreation area, which include year round operations of the go-carts and an 18 hole miniature golf course. The nine Cam-Am racers feature 5.5 horsepower Honda motors and the miniature golf course offers 18 exciting holes complete with breaking greens and water hazards.

Parents can join in the fun or enjoy soaking up the sun on the spacious lawn and two sun decks. The area's double water slide operates during the summer months, taking riders down two twisting and turning flumes filled with refreshing, cool water, before dumping them with a splash into the heated pool at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
Dress for winter weather! Wear a hat, gloves, boots, a warm  wind and/or water resistant jacket, and snow pants if you prefer. As always, the best way to stay warm is to dress in layers, which allows the removal of clothing if you become warm, and the addition of clothing if the temperature drops.Bring sunscreen, lip balm and skin moisturizers. The sun reflects off the snow during cloudy and sunny days!

Do I Need to bring my own equipment?
No we provide your inner tuber. It is included in the price of the ticket.

DO I NEED TO BE A CERTAIN AGE  TO SNOW TUBE?
Yes, in order to participate in snow tubing, you must be at least 2 years old. All riders will be required to review and sign an electronic release of liability and assumption of risk waiver at the ticket booth before tubing, and those individuals under age 18 will need the additional signature of a parent or legal guardian. For groups you can download the waiver.
