Beat The Summer Heat
Beat The Heat For Cheap With Water Slide Season Passes
Escape the sweltering heat in the
cities this summer with a day
of play in the cool spray on the
double water slide at Alpine Slide in
nearby Big Bear Lake.
Enjoy cooler temperatures in
the mountains while splishing and
splashing on Alpine Slide’s two
flumes of cascading water, which
take riders down long straight aways
and through numerous turns before
depositing them in the solar-heated
pool at the bottom.
Water Slide rides are inexpensive
- just $15 for an all day pass,
10 rides for $10, or two bucks
each. Season passes are $69 for an
anytime pass, and $49 for a Sunday-
Friday pass (excluding July 4th).
A great way to beat summer heat,
and parents who don’t want to play
don’t get soaked either since they
don’t have to pay to get in, unlike at
other water parks. Spread a blanket
out on the grass or take a seat on
one of two outdoor sundecks and
soak up rays while the kids play.
Alpine Slide is famous for its
Olympic-style bobsleds which are
in season all year long. Snow is
never needed since the sleds have
Teflon runners and ball-bearing
wheels, and the two quarter-mile
long tracks with banked turns are
cement.
Riders control their own
speed with the brake, and unlike
any amusement park ride, each
trip down is a completely unique
and interactive experience. Lean
into each turn and go into a tuck
through straightaways to experience
what it’s like to be an Olympic
bobsledder, or use the brake to go
slow and soak in views of the lake
and mountains.
Alpine Slide is also home to
Putt ‘N Around go-karts and 18-
hole miniature golf course, filled
with water hazards, breaking greens
and “sand traps.” Go-karts feature
5.5 horsepower Honda motors
and safety features like professional
three-point restraint systems similar
to those found in race cars, rack
and pinion steering, hydraulic disk
brakes, and padded steering wheels.
Take a break from the action
in the expanded lodge with family
priced snacks including handscooped
ice cream bar. A cotton
candy machine makes your cotton
candy while you watch!
Alpine Slide is open weekends
in the Spring with daily summer
operation beginning June 9th and
is located at 800 Wildrose Lane
in Big Bear Lake, 1/4 mile west of
the Village shopping, home to 60
specialty stores.
