Wintergreen Ski Resort
11,000 Acres of Fun
Located on the eastern slope of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, Wintergreen Ski Resort is made up of 11,000 acres of terrain with 27 runs and two adventuresome terrain parks. Of the 27 runs, 23% are beginner’s green, making Wintergreen a superb place for new skiers. The 14 lighted slopes present a whole new peak perspective during night skiing, and the resort’s fully automated York snowmaking system covers 100% of the terrain, guaranteeing plenty of snow-covered exploration. The resorts NASTAR (National Standard Race) course is open to the public on Saturday afternoons, and you can test your speed and skills against the best of the best, receiving your times as they are posted online in real time.
If you are in need of equipment or want to demo something new, be sure to stop by Ski Barn, where the alpine pros will kit your entire family with the latest gear. Ski Barn has been in business for over 30 years. Let’s just say they know what you are looking for. If you already know what you want precisely, they also offer easy online equipment reservations.
In addition to plentiful skiing, Wintergreen Resort also offers plenty of fun and adventure off of the slopes. If you are traveling with little ones, not quite ready for, or in need of a break from the downhill, Ridgely’s Fun Park is the place for you. Try your hand, or paws, at bear paw snowshoeing, take a twirl on the tubing carousel, or spend the afternoon sliding down the family-friendly, mild tubing hill. For your travel companions that prefer blades over sticks, the Shamokin Ice outdoor rink can accommodate up to 60 skaters, and tickets sell at any ticket window on a first-come, first-served basis or may be purchased via phone if you are planning to visit in the upcoming week.
After days crammed full of adventurous exploits, you will need a comfy place to relax and enjoy your family and travel companions. Accommodating your crew will not be an issue at Wintergreen Ski Resort. Whether it is a cozy room for two, an expansive mountain chalet for a considerable crowd, or anything in between, the resort has the lodging that you require.
