Snowdrift- Running Springs

On March 9th, my family went for a drive in the San Bernardino Mountains for the sole purpose of playing in the snow. First we stopped in Big Bear for a bite to eat. We ended up at a place called Desi's and I would have taken photos but it was honestly pne of the most disgusting restaurants I've been in for quite some time. Their $8 or $9 burrito was small and bland and the chili (I don't see it on their online menu) was just a hair above room tempature which would have been about 64 degrees.

On our way back down the road we happened upon SNOWDRIFT a snow tubing area in Running Springs. We went later in the day and the cost was pretty reasonable. When we arrived there were only a couple of hours left, but with hiking two tubes and two girls up the hill that's all the time I needed.

The only negative was that my wife had to pay to simply watch. She had to walk in the park to take pictures and be there just in case one of the girls needed her. So it was an extra ten bucks to people watch. Otherwise, a pretty fun time playing in the snow.

pretty funny that Desi's stunk (sorry). I think my Desi would have much tastier food if he ever opened a place.

my parents took us EVERY WINTER to the same place to go tubing! I loved it!!!! Your photos bring back fun memories for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi there! I know this is so bizarre... but I've been looking everywhere for information on this tubing park you've reviewed.

I would like to go there Sunday for my birthday but can't find any info on it.

What was the cost for the tickets? For two adults?

Are the hills rather large for an adult to enjoy?

Thanks soooo much!
