Multiple extensive snowmaking systems cover the expansive runs with deep packed snow throughout the winter months, while two high-capacity covered Magic Carpet conveyor lifts carry families and their inner tubes smoothly back to the top. Dedicated snow-plowed staging areas and a spacious heated lodge provide family amenities including hot cocoa, fresh snacks, video games, and clean indoor restrooms. Children measuring 36" to 42" tall can ride inner tubes together with a supervising adult, making it accessible for young children enjoying their first mountain snow day. ## Similar picks in Riverside - [Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain: Winter Snow Tubing & Family Bobsled](https://grassyknees.com/riverside/activities/alpine-slide-at-magic-mountain-winter-snow-tubing-and-family-bobsled--listing-419068ced78eae81474377b7) — Daily snow tubing 10:00 AM–4:00 PM; Night glow tubing Fri–Sat & holiday periods 5:00… · Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain, Big Bear Lake · All ages · From $50 · checked Nov 4.
