These locations, for reasons outlined above, very rarely experience snow. The unincorporated community of Altadena, for example, lies about 1, feet above sea level and experiences trace amounts of snow about once a decade and measurable amounts about once every two decades. Mountains in Los Angeles County may see snow as early as late October, down to 7, feet, and, by early December, down to 3, feet.
By mid-April, snow is rarely found in the mountains of Los Angeles County below 7, foot, but may still remain on some peaks into the mid-summer. Take a right at Padua Street. Then turn right on Mt. Baldy Road heading up the mountain. Stop whenever you want or continue all the way up towards the ski lifts where there are port-a-potties if you need them.
We liked the area by the ski lift and the area by the campground. Tip: Go early to miss late afternoon traffic coming up the mountain.
These can be purchased in advance before reaching the mountain or once you pass through Mt Baldy Village. Several shops in the village sell the pass. No shops or stations to purchase the pass are in the mountain past the Trout pond. It is just behind the mountains from Mt. Baldy, so about 1 hr 30 min with no traffic. The tubing park here is walk on, so no scary lift required! Children under 36 inches are not allowed to enter the tubing area. Children between 36 inches and 42 inches must ride with a parent on the inner tubes.
This park has a moving carpet which makes getting back up the hill after each run so much easier! We went, but were not able to get tickets to the tubing park because it sells out early. If you go, you have to get there well before 10 a. If you have bad luck like we did, check out what else you can do in the area here.
Also as with other tubing parks, food options are limited, so bring as much as you can to keep the little bellies full. If your kids are into skiing or what to try it out for the first time, we highly recommend Mt High for first time skiers.
It is also perfect for a day trip to ski for a few hours and then head home for bed at the end of the day! It has three levels of hills available for you to tube, which means everyone in the family can find their own level of speed. The biggest negative is that is that there are only stairs leading you up and down the hills.
The kids will be exhausted by the end of the day, trust me, which might just turn that negative to a positive! This is a touch more expensive than other options since it is by the hour. Head a little further up Big Bear mountain and you have two other snow tubing parks that can also be visited during a day trip. Both parks have snow tubing as well as other activities go karts, video games and Alpine has the toboggan sled track.
Cash only, so come prepared or use their on site ATMs. Both of these parks also have the magic carpet ride that carries visitors back up the hill after each run. This is worth the admission price itself! Alpine Slide also has a small bunny hill on the far left where small kids will enjoy going up and down the tiny hill on their own. Everything is clearly signposted from this point.
You will see Snow Drift on your right after you pass the turn off for Running Springs town. While we have never needed them, I would definitely recommend getting snow chains if you are going during a wintery storm. So far the roads have always been clear for us, but you just never know!
Pinos is a popular spot on holidays and weekends, so plan accordingly. Be warned that the top of Mt. Pinos is about 9, feet above sea level, so watch your kids carefully for signs of altitude sickness headache, nausea, dizziness and fatigue. Big Bear. Big Bear has the ability to make its own snow, so even when we're in a drought they still have snow on the ground. Their snow tubing area has a magic carpet and a tube lift, making getting to the top of the hill a total breeze. They also host both day and night tubing, allowing tubers to play in the snow under the stars.
Mountain High. Kids can meet Yeti and his friends in the brand-new play zone, slide down one of ten lanes in the tubing park and more. The Park has plans to develop ice skating, a snow climbing wall, Yeti's cave and snowshoeing activities in the future! Note, kids must be at least 36 inches tall to tube, and 43 inches or taller to ride alone. Mount Baldy.
