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.
Snow Valley’s tubing area, called Coyote Creek Tube Park, sits between Chairs 12 and 13 on Highway 18 in Running Springs. The resort is now part of Big Bear Mountain Resort, and the official page describes up to six 400-foot lanes served by a moving carpet. Each ticket buys 90 minutes of unlimited laps on one tube per person, with no sharing or lap riding.
Plan around the booking rule. The official page says spots must be purchased at least one day ahead, with same-day tickets possible onsite only if a slot has room. Slots start at 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM and 4 PM, and the park runs 10 AM to 3:30 PM daily from December to April, extended to 5:30 PM on night session dates. Listed prices run from $39 to $64 for tubing depending on the slot, so confirm current rates before you pay.
Height is the deal-breaker. Riders must be at least 42 inches and 40 pounds, and younger siblings can use the snow play area instead. Dress for wet snow, since the page recommends waterproof layers and rents waterproof bibs for $20.
If this park is full, Snow Drift Snow Tubing Park is about a mile away.
Book a slot at least a day ahead. Night sessions extend the day to 5:30 PM on select dates, and the 10 AM and 4 PM slots are listed at lower prices than midday.

We track 21 tubing hills in California. At $20 a head this one sits right on the state median of $20, undercutting 4 of the 10 paid parks we track here.
It runs 6 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.
