Winter at Wintergreen

“Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads.” –Anonymous

If you’ve been following our blog or Facebook page for a while, you may have heard us mention Wintergreen. This local resort has everything from restaurants spa treatments to snowboarding. And with winter fast approaching, Wintergreen resort is ready to offer you a number of cold-weather activities accommodated by “one of the world’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems.”

Let’s take a look at some of the fun winter activities that you can enjoy on top of this breathtaking Virginia mountain:

- Non-Snowy Activities: Just because the snow (both natural and man-made!) hasn’t arrived yet doesn’t mean there isn’t a flurry of fun to be found at Wintergreen. Treat yourself to massage at the Spa, stretch your legs on a hike, or challenge your companion to a tennis match.

- Skiing and Snowboarding: Hit the slopes on your own or under the guidance of one of Wintergreen’s instructors. Rent your equipment, grab a four-hour or eight-hour lift ticket, and race your way down the mountainside.

- Tubing: Are you ready to take the Plunge? “Imagine being on top of a ten story building and looking out over a hill that's longer than three football fields. Now imagine going downhill on a tube at speeds reaching 30 mph.” As the largest tubing park in Virginia, you can be sure that you’ll have some speedy fun.

- Ice Skating: Glide across the ice of Shamokin Lake, a 45 x 90 foot rink with a gorgeous view. (Did you know that a 125-ton chiller keeping the ice solid?) If you’re interested in ice skating at Wintergreen, you may want to grab your tickets early, as they tend to fill up reservation spots pretty quickly.

Note: Some activities may not be available for non-resort guests.
