Smallish 3 track snowslide on a slight downgrade inside the Snow Summit Ski Resort. They start promptly on the hour for the time you purchase. There are much better tube parks for a lower cost, but ideal for non-skiing kids while older siblings hit the slopes. Our 4yo son LOVED it.

Things to do
Only 12 minutes away from the cabin, Snow Summit is the best mountain for skiers. We're big fans of their Adventure School for children.
** Summit Bike Park is a great attraction during warmer weather **
PRO TIPS:
+ You can get your gear the afternoon prior to your ski lift reservations so you can go straight to the slopes.
+ Consider getting there early or allow for time to find parking, during high season spots are hard to come by. **

The Boulder Bay Park in Big Bear Lake is a newer park which opened in 2010 and about a 20 minute drive from the cabin.

There is parking, but it's hard to grab a spot due to it's popularity.
You can also rent Kayaks. Equipment is on wheels. You roll them yourself 100 yards into the park and onto the shoreline.
