Alpine Slide, Theme park in Big Bear Lake, United States.
The Alpine Slide is a summer attraction at Big Bear Lake featuring a 2,700-foot concrete track where visitors control their speed while descending through forest curves and straightaways. The ride moves through multiple sections designed to offer different difficulty levels for all ages.
The facility opened in the 1970s as part of regional efforts to expand summer activities beyond skiing. Its success helped other mountain areas in California recognize the potential of seasonal attractions.
This attraction shows how mountain communities in California adapted to keep visitors coming year-round by creating summer activities at ski resort locations. The place became a gathering spot where families spend warm months enjoying the highlands together.
Children must reach a height of 38 inches to ride with an adult, while those over 48 inches can navigate the track independently. Weather at this elevation can change quickly, so bringing a light jacket is wise for cooler days.
Riders operate hand brakes to regulate their descent speed, giving significant personal control during the ride. This braking system lets both beginners and experienced riders choose their own pace and control the rush of adrenaline.
