DADE CITY, Fla — Sure, it’s been a bit chilly for the last few days – but you don’t need a 10News meteorologist to tell you it’s probably not going to snow in Tampa Bay anytime soon.

But soon, we'll be able to go snow tubing.

Snowcat Ridge just broke ground on Saint Joe Road in Dade City next to TreeHoppers Aerial Adventure Park. Both parks are owned by Point Summit, which operates several more.

Point Summit says Snowcat Ridge will bring winter sports and frigid family fun to the area in November 2020, and it will stay open up to 120 days a year – weather depending.

Anything over 80 degrees is too hot to keep the park’s 60-foot-tall, 400-foot-long tubing hill covered with fresh powder.

Riders will be able to go solo, tandem – or on a big tube with five other people.

A "snow dome" at the bottom will be filled with snow for making snowmen and snow angels – and feature a kid-sized tubing hill too.
