Massanutten Resort, Harrisonburg, Virginia:
Area Description:
Known for firsts, Massanutten boasts being the first in Virginia
to:
Offer snowboarding
Offer snow tubing
Have the first quad chairlift
Light all 14 trails for night skiing
Massanutten Resort boasts the most vertical drop in Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania with 1155 feet of thrilling terrain.
All 14 trails are open to skiers, snowboarding, and skiboarding...and
all 14 trails are lighted for night skiing!
Massanutten Resort also offers snowtubing and two great terrain
parks that are open to skiers as well.
In addition to the main park, Massanutten has opened the Easy
Street Terrain Park, also featuring its own lift. Easy Street
uses smaller features catering to the learning process of
novices. The Park's staff groom, hand shape and change the
layout of both parks daily to keep them fresh. Each day, Terrain
Park reports are posted in the ticket windows and on the
website, providing the layout of the parks and useful tips to
make your day in the parks safer and more enjoyable. The main
Terrain Park is open to snowboards, twin-tip skis, and
snowblades only.
This season our parks will continue to be the best with more
rails and other challenging features for your park riding
experience.
Snow Tubing Fun!
Nearly everyone can enjoy the snow at Massanutten Resort in
their Snow Tubing Park, the most awesome, family-fun-loving,
Snow Tube Park in the mid-Atlantic region! Come spend a day with
the family for an experience you won't forget, but plan ahead
because spaces are limited and dates sell out quick.
What's New for 2006-2007
Massanutten added a
second quad Chair last season.
Massanutten Waterpark - 42,000 square feet of
indoor water excitement, another 42,000 square feet of
dining, retail, arcade games, and more.
Expanded Snow Tubing Park - You will want to
visit Massanutten's newly expanded Snow Tubing Park.
They have increased the number of lanes from 8 to 12!
This means you will spend even less time standing in
line and more time sliding down the lanes during your
session. Also, new this year, they have installed a
Sunkid Wonder Carpet to transport you up the hill
without having to hold a towline. This new "moving
sidewalk" will make getting to the top easier and almost
as much fun as racing down the slope.

Massanutten Resort made numerous tweaks to the resort a season
ago. Among them:
The bottom terminal of the new lift was moved approximately 30
feet up the Southern Comfort trail for improved crowd control
and traffic flow. The top terminal was also moved closer to lift
# 6 and wasraised to improve traffic and allow better access to
lift # 6. The Southern Comfort Trail was also widened at the top
and bottom to improve traffic flow and to accommodate the
increased capacity of the new lift.
Other improvements to the ski area include a new Bombardier snow
groomer, new and retrofitted snowmaking equipment, increased
lighting on Southern Comfort, renovations to the lodge and
rental shop and a 2000 square foot expansion to the General
Store. The new lift and these improvements will make your winter
visits to Massanutten even more enjoyable.
