Wintergreen Ski Resort is a top ski destination for families in Virginia that offers a vertical drop of over 1,000 feet. This Blue Ridge Mountains resort is a beautiful resort with great terrain for snowboarders and skiers. The area gets a relatively small amount of snow fall for a resort, but Wintergreen has 100% snowmaking over the skiable areas so if the natural snow doesn't fall, there's still plenty of powder. The resort is a leader in snowmaking with over 300 snow tower funs operated by computer, so that the temperature and humidity are immediately logged and snow will be made accordingly.

The resort doesn't boast a large number of trails, and for truly expert skiers the trails might feel lacking, but a few are challenging enough to keep even the most experienced skier happy. A huge beginner area with its own snowmaking guns is there so that even new skiers and kids can learn in a pressure free atmosphere.

For an already reasonably price ski resort, there are usually a large number of ski coupons available to help you get discounts on everything from ski & stay to lift tickets, and even discount ski coupons for things like dining, shopping and enjoying local attractions. So a visit to Wintergreen with ski discount coupons in hands makes an excellent and affordable family vacation.

Getting to Wintergreen is easy no matter which direction you're coming from, though it's not directly off an Interstate and requires a slightly different route depending on the direction. Wintergreen is on Route 664, four-and-a-half miles back from the exit of Route 151 South, no matter which direction you're coming from.

There are almost 300 condominiums and rentals homes in the area near the Wintergreen Ski Resort, so this is an excellent and easy way to find great lodging while you're enjoying the Virginia slopes. These range from budget-conscious rental homes that go very quickly, so be sure to make reservations, to elegant condominiums and upscale rental homes large enough for big families, or for small families to feel like they have lots of room to stretch out and breathe. There are also ski cottages, and the standard motel and hotel offerings in the area.

Wintergreen Ski Resort has plenty of opportunities for boarders in the terrain park, and they also have one of the biggest tubing parks in the area so that everyone regardless of skill can enjoy the snow.
