Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain

Open
all year, the Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain, Southern California's only
authentic bobsled experience, begins with a scenic chairlift ride to the
top that includes panoramic views of beautiful Big Bear Lake and the surrounding
mountains. From there riders navigate their own individually controlled
sleds, each with teflon runners and ball bearing wheels, down their choice
of two quarter-mile long cement tracks filled with high-banked turns and
long straightaways. Riders can go as fast or slow as they want, by merely
applying a touch of brake with the control handle.
Big Bear Marina offers an extensive
rental fleet. Their pontoon boats can accommodate 2 to 12 people, and
also feature canvas enclosures that provide a comfortable environment
for fishing or simply cruising the lake. 14-FT aluminum boats equipped
with new outboards compliment the fleet for your basic fishing needs.
Canoes and Kayaks complete the rental fleet for fishermen who prefer quiet
solitude on the lake.
