Snowcat Ridge Alpine Snow Park in Dade City opens for the holiday season, offering a unique winter wonderland experience right in Florida.
Snowcat Ridge, located in Dade City, defies Florida’s tropical climate by providing a distinctive alpine snow park. Visitors, starting Friday, can immerse themselves in snow-filled activities without the need to travel far from home. This park stands out with its 60-foot-tall snow tubing hill, where guests can glide down 400-foot runs. It offers an exhilarating experience of snow tubing amidst a snowy landscape, bringing a slice of winter to the Sunshine State.
Winston McDaniel, associated with Snowcat Ridge, remarked on the park’s focus this year, ‘What we really wanted to do was focus on what people said they enjoy most—the Christmas aspects of the park. So I said, ‘okay, let’s really do the Christmas thing.” This sentiment reflects the park’s commitment to delivering a festive and family-friendly atmosphere.
The facility also features a 10,000-square-foot Arctic Igloo, where visitors can engage in snow-centric activities like building snowmen, crafting snow angels, and snowball fights. The igloo incorporates advanced snow-making technology to ensure a continuous snowy environment, enhancing the authentic winter experience.
Moreover, guests can find warmth and comfort in the lodge, which serves hot chocolate and winter treats, providing a blend of outdoor fun and cozy relaxation. In the evenings, the charm of Snowcat Ridge elevates as the slopes are bathed in vibrant LED lights, transforming the area into a colorful spectacle. This transformation not only illuminates the snow but also adds a captivating visual element to the park’s allure.
Snowcat Ridge successfully brings an alpine experience to Florida, offering a blend of thrilling and relaxing activities that cater to families and winter enthusiasts alike. This unique attraction promises memorable holiday experiences through its commitment to genuine winter fun.
