"Snowcat Ridge" snow park coming to area

DADE CITY, FL - A snow park just north of Wesley Chapel, Florida, a first for the Sunshine State, is scheduled to open in November 2020 (possibly later due to coronavirus).

Snowcat Ridge will be in Dade City and will feature a 60-foot-tall, 400-foot-long snow tubing hill, a 10,000-square-foot snow play dome, and an Alpine Village.

“Some folks think it’s impossible to experience snow tubing and the joy of snow in Florida, but our team is all about making the impossible, possible,” Snowcat Ridge creative director Mark Bremer said in a statement.

Visitors will be able to ride in single, double, or six-person tubes down the hill. Inside the snow dome, visitors can build snowmen or snow castles. The dome will also feature a child-sized snow hill for younger visitors.

At the Alpine Village, visitors can dine or sip hot chocolate next to a bonfire. More details will be posted on the Wesley Chapel Community Website in the future.
