Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain-Big Bear
In my previews blog I mentioned that My 3 year old wanted to see and feel the snow and so we planned a short trip to Big Bear located in San Bernandino Mountains as they have tons of snow activities during winter and we got to experience some at ‘Alpine Slide’.
In this blog I will be sharing some tips and highlights of Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain. Thanks again to Alpine Slide for hosting us.I hope you enjoy this full review.
Things to do :
They offer variety of winter activities like Alpine slide with lift,Soaring Eagle, Go-karting , Tubing and a snow play area for kids where they can tube or build a snow man.My favorite was ofcourse the Alpine slide where our ride begun with a scenic chairlift ride and took us to the top of a mountain which had a panoramic views of beautiful big bear lake. From there we took our sleds down on a two quarter miles long cement road which were totally in our control. I first tried the slow track which was good if you wanna sink in the nature around you and then i tried the fast tract which was a thriller.
My little one loved snow play and Tubing so much that he din’t wanna leave the place.I must say, this is his first time experiencing the snow and am sure he will cherish these moments forever.
Indoor Arcade Room :
They also have a small indoor arcade room where it kept our little one entertained and also warmed him up before going out in the snow.
Mini cafe :
They do have a cafe available with plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings where you can get burgers,coffee,fries,drinks etc for reasonable prices. They only accept cash so please make sure you bring enough of it during your visit.
Some Tips to remember before you go :
- Check for the weather before you go and do carry the Chains, as it gets really slippery on your way up to the mountain.
- Dress up really warm and wear snow boots and clothes if you wanna stay dry. My husband and son wore a jeans and it kept them warm but also got wet during the snow play & tubing.
- Bring Cash because they ONLY accept CASH for everything even for Food & Drinks.
- They are open 10am to 4pm and you can snow tube all day long within that period.They do have evening sessions from 5pm to 9pm which are only on Fridays and Saturdays.
- The lines are HUGE during weekends but don’t let it panic you.They move REALLY Fast.
- Forgot your Snow gloves?Hats? or any accessories? Don’t worry, They do sell them for a minimal charge near the Food Court.
- Tubes are included in the price of admission.
- Children between the ages of 2 and 7 ride free with a paying adult and should ride with the adult.

love this article! I grew up close to here and would go to big bear every winter! We used to go tubing there and only once tried the alpine slide like you guys did! I do not remember there being multiple tracks(this was years ago), but it was a lot of fun!
eazynazy
Yes, they have two tracks , one is fast and one is for the first timers and both were amazing ❤️ Thanks for leaving your valuable comment and sharing your memories with us 🙂

The Alpine slide looks like such a fun activities. It’s sure great for kids and big kids (like me lol). I never thought I’ll find an Alpine slide in California. Always great to learn something new

Looks like a fun day out for the family. Its great to know of family activity friendly places around – for planning trips with a big gap. So I will file this in for the future. THanks!

I know and we have a three year old with us and we always plan places where adults and kids both can have fun 🙂

This is amazing. So many activities for kids as well as adults. I’ve always wanted to go on a alpine slide so that’s something of interest and so is tubing in the snow. Never heard of the Soaring Eagle, is it like a catapult that goes really fast? Thanks for all the tips.
eazynazy
Yes, you got it right. It moves slowly backwards and throws you forward really fast 😁

This looks like a fun place for a wintry day out! Your little boy looked like he had an amazing time. I’d like to try tubing one day too!
eazynazy
He had so much fun though it was his first time in snow. You should definitely try tubing, am sure you wouldn’t wanna go back home 🙂

Not only kids, even the big ones like me would love to experience tubing on the snow all day long. Alpine slide is a must experience and this is totally going to my bucket list. You seem to have a great day there and thanks for the tips you mentioned.
