Big Bear Snow Tubing at Alpine Slide – Winter Gets Early Start

November 22, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

Snow Tubing Hills Covered in Snow

Big Bear’s first snowstorm of the season delivers! Snow tubing hills at Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain are completely covered with the white stuff. A recent snowstorm brought fresh snow to Big Bear, which is combined with two weeks of prior snowmaking efforts. This boosted snow levels at Alpine Slide’s snow play area. Moreover, the snow-tubing park reported that its snow base is two to four feet. It even expects to add to it with more snowmaking. Ideal snowmaking conditions with cold temperatures and low humidity are anticipated to remain consistent all week.

Ski-resort quality, snowmaking fan guns at Alpine Slide are expected to fire up again. Furthermore, the snow play area will continue at every opportunity to build on its base. Alpine Slide is now open for the 2019-2020 winter season! Big Bear’s favorite snow tubing provides a fun outing for families this weekend. Also, midweek is a great time to play in the snow.

Snow Tubing at Alpine Slide

Snowmaking at Snow Play Area in Big Bear

Alpine Slide has ski-resort quality snowmaking! Of course, this means there’s always snow for snow tubing enthusiasts. Furthermore, it grooms its runs each night, which makes ideal sliding conditions for the following day. Watch as winter continue. Both Mother Nature and Alpine Slide will cover the snow tubing park with more white stuff. Of course, this will eventually stack up to 15 to 20 feet of snow.

Want to get in more downhill fun? Well, Alpine Slide makes it easy to get to the top of the hill. Ride its Magic Carpet lift. That’s right, the moving conveyor belt eliminates the stress of climbing the hill. Furthermore, it provides more opportunity for having fun on the slopes. For added comfort, the Magic Carpet ride comes equipped with a Plexiglass cover. It shields guests from winter-weather conditions.

More Family Fun Activities in Big Bear

This family-friendly recreation area gives all ages an opportunity to enjoy the spirit of winter with other attractions. First, check out the Alpine Slide ride. It resembles the Winter Olympics luge / bobsled. Riders navigate their own individually controlled sleds down a quarter-mile-long-concrete track, with high-banked turns and long straight-aways. Each sled has Teflon runners, ball bearing wheels, control handle and brakes. Next, take flight! The new Soaring Eagle ride gives thrill-seekers an opportunity to fly like a bald eagle. Once at the top, take in views of Big Bear Lake from high above. In addition, there’s an 18-hole miniature golf course, go-karts and arcade. All outdoor attractions are open during the winter (weather permitting). Take cover at the heated-base lodge. Here you’ll find a family-priced snack bar. Also, it makes for a great place to take a break. Be sure to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa.

LOVE SNOW – LOVE BIG BEAR

DO YOU LOVE SNOW?

Tis the season to love snow, and Big Bear is hopeful for a snowy winter. Let’s hope it’s a good one with tons of white stuff. When mother nature brings the snow it improves skiing, snowboarding and tubing conditions for all.

If you make your way up to Big Bear this winter bring your loving heart, because once you see the white-covered forest you will automatically fall in love with the snow. It goes hand in hand to harmonize with the snow.

The great thing about Big Bear is this mountain resort is Snow Close to Home, which means it’s just a short drive from home to see the winter wonderland that abounds. Stay over at a Big Bear Cabin and the next day when you look outside you wake up to happiness.

Whether you choose to play in the snow or just relax next to a crackling fireplace you are certain to love snow. Of course the main attraction is Big Bear Mountain Resort where you can ski and ride at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Other fun activities in the white stuff is sliding down the hill in an inner tube at Big Bear Snow Play or Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain. Or bring your own toboggans, find a snow-covered hill in the forest and let the fun begin!

Of course you can make your own fun by throwing snowballs at one another and have a classic snowball battle. Roll up big snowballs to create a snowman. Add pine needles for its hair and pine cone for its nose. Then flop back into the snow and flap your arms and legs to make the traditional snow angel. This is just some of the ways your can love snow.

Come on up to Big Bear this winter to enjoy a snowy good time!
