What you get for the price

snow tubingsledding

$20 per person per hour. Children under 36 inches free with paid adult. $5 parking fee may apply.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $80.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.

Our take

Snow Drift describes itself as Southern California’s oldest and largest snow tubing park, and it is a dedicated tubing area in San Bernardino National Forest at about 6,500 feet. It offers three slope levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced, so a group can start gentle and move up.

Pricing is by the hour: the record lists $20 per person per hour, with children under 36 inches free with a paid adult and a $5 parking fee that may apply. Rates change, so check the park’s site before you go.

The schedule is where to be careful. The record lists weekends and holidays, but the hours field also mentions Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 4:00pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, so it is unclear which days run. Hours depend on weather, and the park’s website said it was closed for the 25/26 season when checked, promising to welcome guests back next winter. The park’s phone is (866) 942-2824. The when to go guide covers timing.

Snow Valley Mountain Resort is about 1 mile away, and Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is about 9 miles away with night sessions.
