For diehard baseball fans, wintertime can be rough. With months to go until any spring training action, free agency rumors and deals can be the only way to get a fix — unless you live in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma City RedHawks have opened their stadium up for one of the most cherished wintertime activities — snow tubing. The Astros’ Triple-A affiliate opens the doors of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark every December as part of the Downtown in December festival, according to KFOR-TV.

Despite temperature highs near 70 degrees, tubers are welcome to take a joy ride on the slopes, covered in man-made snow — with one hill taking riders 150 feet from the upper deck to the field level.

Check it out in the photos below.
