Tubing Resumes in Big Bear Even Though Snow Has Melted Away
Big Bear Summer Tubing, a mountain tubing experience, is now
open for the summer season! Sliding down slopes in Big Bear no longer ends after the snow melts away. This summer Big Bear presents a novel tubing experience. It’s the same thrill of snow tubing, but without the actual snow. The same tubing hills at Big Bear Snow Play have transformed into Big Bear Summer Tubing. This new outdoor adventure is certain to get ecstatic hoots and hollers from riders of all ages. Nonetheless, whether you’re a young tot, teenagers or adult, you’re bound to have fun.
“It’s official, families now have access to mountain tubing all year round,” said Big Bear Snow Play Director of Operations Scott Voigt. “Thanks to the innovative mSnow Tube Wax that makes it all possible.”
How is Summer Tubing Possible?
It’s only natural to consider tubing a winter-only activity. Moreover, when it comes to the warmer summer months, water-based slides come to mind. However, Big Bear Summer Tubing delivers a whole new way to experience gravity-defying family fun. It has durable tube slides that are 300 feet in length (similar to the length of a football field). Big Bear Summer Tubing slides are made with a synthetic surface that uses mSnow’s Tube Wax™, which are completely water-free, and require no irrigation. There’s a total of three tubing lanes, and each lane has bumper side rails to keep tubes on course as gravity pulls the tubes to the base.
Magic Carpet Lift – Easy Ride to the Top
As a convenience, Big Bear Summer Tubing makes it a cinch to get to the top of the hill with its Magic Carpet Lift. The large moving conveyor belt (similar to an airport terminal people-mover) comfortably and quickly transports guests with tubes in tow to the top of the hill. This eliminates the stress of climbing, and provides more opportunity for downhill fun!
Plus…There’s a Speedway & Ropes Course!
Other attractions on site are Big Bear Speedway and Big Bear Ropes Course. Big Bear Speedway delivers a real racing experience with full-featured SODI RT8 Karts, which look like miniature Formula 1 race cars, complete with innovative technology designed to handle twists and turns with precision. Compete against the clock while reaching speeds of up to 30 mph. Big Bear Ropes Course is an aerial adventure that sends participants on a self-guided tour through more than 30 obstacles spread over 6,400 square feet on two levels that are 12 to 35 feet in the air!
Big Bear Summer Tubing is now open for 2025 summer season. The recreation area is located at 42825 Big Bear Blvd. (three miles east of Big Bear Village, next to Motel 6).
