The course takes place atop a frozen body of water, with the main road being dark blue ice and the sides of the road being lined with light blue ice and snow. The course begins with a 90° turn to the right, the first set of [[Item Box]]es, and a 90° turn to the left. There is then a 135° right turn followed by a straightaway; in the middle of the road here is a long line of the course's only coins. Racers then take another 135° right turn followed by a slight right and a U-turn to the left. The course then continues with a brief straight and two 90° right turns, along which there are holes in the ice and spinning [[Penguin]]s as obstacles. Afterwards, racer encounter another item set as well as a [[Dash Panel|speed strip]] on the left side of the road. They then take a 45° right turn, 90° left turn, and another 45° right turn. A 90° right turn and a brief straightaway then bring racers to the finish line.

Throughout the course as a whole, trees and [[Snowman|snowmen]] appear at the sides of the road as potential obstacles. Additionally, the bumpiness of the course causes the camera to slightly shake during each race.

The first notable shortcut can be found after the second turn. By not taking the entire subsequent turn and driving to the left of the main road, the player can access an alternate route with several speed strips.

 

The second notable shortcut can be found at the second 135° right turn. By driving between holes in the ice to the right of the main road, the player can cut off the turn and access an extra set of Item Boxes. A very similar shortcut can also be found just before the last item set, but it results in the player missing the item set instead.

 

Lastly, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to reach a ramp to the left of the 90° turn at the end of the track, cutting it off.

Snow Land makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the second course of the [[Propeller Cup]]. The course has received dramatic visual upgrades, and now features more elevated portions, similar to {{classic link|GBA|Cheese Land}}. The course's starting line is now on a bridge that connects the first and last bends of the course together, and the U-turn in the middle is now a sheet of ice with a water hole in the middle, replacing the smaller water holes in the main road. The first part of the course is now set in a forested area, and the [[Snowman|snowmen]] reappear there. Penguins now roam around the course, and act similar to the [[Skating Shy Guy]]s in {{classic link|GCN|Sherbet Land}}. The ice spires in the course's background now have a slight purple hue, like the sky. Additionally, unlike {{classic link|GBA|Ribbon Road}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and designs for GBA courses in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the original layout was recreated relatively faithfully despite the elevation changes, though the ice paths and shortcut in the upper right portion of the course were removed. The latter has been replaced by a different shortcut that involves boosting through an elevated portion of snow signified by a snowman that skips the turn after the straight away. The shortcut located on the second final straight away now features an opening in the wall rather than two ramps before it, the [[Dash Panel]] previously in this area was removed, and an additional ramp has been added at the final turn. The course's music has also received an additional intro that was not present in the original. Curiously, the minimap does not reflect the hole in the ice being rough and jagged, with it looking round as in ''Mario Kart Tour''. This also applies to minor tweaks made to the jump section, as the gap is shorter compared to ''Tour'' and the landing spot has been widened.

Barring the ''Mario Kart Tour'' tracks, Snow Land is the only course added in the second wave of the Booster Course Pass that had never previously appeared outside of its debut, and is one of two courses in the DLC with this distinction, alongside {{classic link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}.
