Beat The<br />

Summer Heat<br />

Beat The Heat For Cheap With<br />

Water Slide Season Passes<br />

Beat the heat all summer<br />

long with new season<br />

passes available for Alpine<br />

Slide’s refreshing double water<br />

slide.<br />

Guests get all the wet, wild<br />

fun they can handle with new<br />

anytime water slide season passes<br />

available for just $69. Hit the<br />

twin flumes filled with cool, cascading<br />

water and plenty of twists,<br />

turns and straightaways anytime<br />

you want with Alpine Slide<br />

operating daily. The anytime pass<br />

pays for itself in less than five<br />

visits.<br />

Also available are Sunday<br />

through Friday season passes for<br />

only $49 (excluding <strong>July</strong> 4th).<br />

Either way guests get all the play<br />

in the spray they want as they<br />

whip through refurbished flumes<br />

before splashing into the solar<br />

heated pool at the bottom...a<br />

great way to beat summer heat!<br />

The water slide is always an<br />

Oil and Water dOn’t Mix.<br />

Used motor oil should NEVER be<br />

poured onto the ground, into storm<br />

drains or tossed into trash cans (even in<br />

a sealed container) because it contains<br />

toxins which contaminate the soil,<br />

groundwater, streams and rivers.<br />

Two easy ways to Safely dispose of used oil and filters:<br />

1. FREE curbside pick up is<br />

available to city residents for<br />

used oil. Call 1-800-698-4377<br />

to schedule an appointment.<br />

2. Drop off used oil at a<br />

Recycling Collection Center.<br />

For the nearest location go to<br />

calrecycle.ca.gov/UsedOil/Info<br />

or call 1-800-CLEANUP<br />

Public Works Department<br />

Funded by CalRecycle<br />

SLIDERS There are plenty of twists, turns and straightaways<br />

at Alpine Slide in Big Bear.<br />

affordable way to play anyway<br />

with all-day passes just $15, 10<br />

rides for $10, or single rides for<br />

$2. Parents who don’t play never<br />

have to pay, many choosing<br />

to sit on one of two spacious<br />

sundecks with a good book<br />

while the kids have a blast. Or,<br />

head to the recently expanded<br />

indoor base lodge to escape the<br />

sun where there’s video games<br />

and family-priced snack bar that<br />

includes an old-fashioned Breyers<br />

ice cream counter.<br />

Alpine Slide is famous for its<br />

Olympic-style bobsleds which<br />

are in season all year long. Snow<br />

is never needed since the sleds<br />

have teflon runners and ballbearing<br />

wheels, and the quartermile<br />

long tracks with banked<br />

turns and long straightaways are<br />

cement.<br />

Riders control their own<br />

speed with the brake, and unlike<br />

any amusement park ride, each<br />

Alpine Slide<br />

trip down is a completely unique<br />

and interactive experience. Lean<br />

into each turn and go into a tuck<br />

through straightaways to experience<br />

what it’s like to be an Olympic<br />

bobsledder, or use the brake<br />

to go slow and soak in views of<br />

the lake and mountains.<br />

For a relaxing change of pace<br />

enjoy a round on the Putt ‘N<br />

Around miniature golf course,<br />

laden with rolling greens, water<br />

hazards, even penalty-stroke<br />

“sand traps.”<br />

Then for more fast fun, ride<br />

the Putt ‘N Around Go-Karts,<br />

each equipped with 5.5 horsepower<br />

Honda motors and an<br />

array of safety features including<br />

three-point harness restraints,<br />

hydraulic disk brakes, rack and<br />

pinion steering and padded steering<br />

wheels. The tire-lined track<br />

sports hair pin and high banked<br />

turns as riders circle under the<br />

pines at 7,000 foot elevation. IER<br />

Alpine Slide is on Big Bear Blvd. in Big Bear, 1/4 mile west<br />

of the Village shopping area, home to 60 specialty stores.<br />
