DADE CITY, Fla. – Snowcat Ridge Alpine Snow Park is preparing to open next week for its 2021 winter season.

The park opened last year and features a number of winter activities, including snow tubing, an arctic igloo and an alpine village that you won’t find anywhere else in Florida.

It’s located in Dade City, which is in Pasco County in Central Florida.

The park’s reopening is scheduled for Nov. 10 and it will be open through March 27, WKMG reports.

Officials announced a couple of months ago the addition of two new attractions this season: the Eskimo Outpost and the Crystal Ribbon, an outdoor ice skating area.

“Ice skating is the quintessential winter pastime and now you can enjoy it right here in Florida,” officials wrote on the park’s website. “Lace up your skates and get ready to glide across the ice under Florida’s sunny skies during the day and under our magical music & light show at night!”

At the all-new Crystal Ribbon attraction, guests will get the opportunity to skate on a ribbon-shaped rink or an oval-shaped area, which will be for beginners. A general admission ticket is required for all guests 2 years old and older. Guests will be able to bring their own ice skates or rent them all day for $9.95.

Located near the Snowy Slopes attraction at the park will be the all-new Eskimo Outpost.

The area will include eight private igloos, which can be used for large birthdays or company events. The attraction will also have unlimited bottled water for guests, fire pits with places to sit and access to the Refreshers: Beer, Wine & Drinks area. Igloo bookings will be available soon.

On select days, tickets to Snowcat Ridge Alpine Snow Park start at $26.95.
