## About

Established as Southern California's oldest and largest snow tubing park, Snow Drift is tucked into the San Bernardino National Forest between Running Springs and Green Valley Lake at 6,500 feet elevation. The park features multiple groomed snow hills separated into beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs with banked snow berms designed for smooth deceleration.

Riders use specially designed M-tubes with durable belly-straps and handles, allowing effortless steering down the snowy slopes. The park operates on a convenient walk-in, cash-only basis per hour, making it a flexible, unpretentious mountain stop for families seeking pure, old-fashioned snow fun.
