Four tubing lanes at resort; separate sledding/tubing at Bear Valley Adventure Company
Bear Valley Mountain Resort is a large Central Sierra ski area, listed at 1,680 acres and 103 trails, located between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. Tubing is a side offering, with four lanes at the Mountain Resort and a separate sledding and tubing option at Bear Valley Adventure Company.
Because tubing is secondary here, details are thinner than at dedicated parks. Our record does not list a lift type, ticket price, session length or age and height rules, and the resort’s homepage did not describe the tubing operation when checked. That is a reason to call or check the tubing page before you drive, not a sign that anything is wrong.
If you are building a Sierra road trip, this park fits well into a multi-stop route. The state overview on the California page lists the other parks in the region, and the road trips guide has general routing advice.
For an alternative, Kirkwood Mountain Resort is about 19 miles away and lists weekend and holiday tubing from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. Dodge Ridge is about 20 miles away and lists weekend tubing sessions.
Check the resort's site for tubing days and hours before driving, since our record does not list a schedule or season dates.

It runs 4 lanes against a state average of about 5, so it is broadly typical for the state.
One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 0 of the 21 parks we track in California had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
