The festival is slated to take place every weekend from Friday, Nov 29 to Dec, 22. Winterfest coincides with the opening of Powder Ridge Park's snow tubing season, with 45-minute sessions available both day and night starting on Nov. 29. Nighttime tubing features an interstellar-themed light show and music. The Winter Village at the festival features a wide range of entertainment and family friendly activities, including live bands and DJs, specialty food trucks, and a paintball shooting gallery. Guests can enjoy drinks, and desserts at the Ice Bar, a cozy frozen retreat. A touch-a-truck display gives an up-close look at the snow groomers, bulldozers, snowmaking machines, and other equipment used on the mountain. The Winter Village includes access to the snow play area, which is designed for children ages five and younger. Kids can experience a small snow tubing run, take free mini-lessons to introduce kids to skiing and snowboarding, or just play in the snow. Guests can also visit Santa's Igloo, a festive workshop where children have the opportunity to meet Santa Claus and make holiday crafts. Visits from Santa will take place every Saturday and Sunday. General admission to the Winter Village is $9 per person, or guests can purchase $21 passes that pair Winter Village admission with a snow tubing time slot or a two-hour skiing or snowboarding session. Snow tubing party packages are also available. Several special events will take place at Powder Ridge Park in conjunction with Winterfest, including:
