DADE CITY, Fla.Snowcat Ridge, Florida’s one-and-only Alpine Snow Park, has decided to delay the start of its 2023-2024 season until Dec. 3.

The snow park said the change was necessary due to some supply chain delays that prevented it from finishing $1 million in upgrades to its restroom facilities. These upgraded restrooms feature brand new family-friendly facilities providing more capacity and comfort.

The park was originally scheduled to open on Nov. 17. Snowcat Ridge said if a person had already purchased tickets for dates before Dec. 3, the park will provide a full refund.
