For the second year in a row, Wintergreen Resort was voted
the "Best Ski Resort" by the readers of the WashingtonPost.com
in the 5th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
Area Description:
Wintergreen Ski Resort is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
43 miles southwest of Charlottesville, Va. Wintergreen Resort
offers one of the more picturesque four season resorts anywhere
in the Eastern United States. They are renowned for
offering certain times of the year when their elevation variance
allows those who desire to ski in the morning and play golf in
the afternoon!
Wintergreen is a family-oriented resort offering (23) trails and
slopes with an excellent variety of beginner to expert terrain
and a vertical drop of more than 1,000 feet!
Wintergreen Resort features some of the best terrain around for
skiing and snowboarding...and they offer a great terrain park
and largest snow tubing park in the state. The Plunge is a snow
tubing park featuring eight lanes, 900-foot chutes and a
100-foot vertical.
Wintergreen Resort also boasts 100% computerized snowmaking.
They also feature two high-speed, six-passenger chairlifts that
will get you back on the trails faster.
What's New at Wintergreen Resort for 2006-2007
Wintergreen Resort added "Outer Limits", a new 2,000'
trail on the Highlands last season. They also add a new
slope again THIS season! A brand new beginner area
featuring a new conveyor lift and terrain designed for
learning. The new beginner area will be located on
Discovery Ridge.
More Snowmaking Enhancements!
Wintergreen Resort has been a leader among Southeast
resorts in snowmaking technology implementations. Like
many of the ski resorts in the Southeast, Wintergreen
has enhanced its York snowmaking system by adding 10 new
guns to the advanced Highlands slopes, and two new guns
to the new learning area.
That adds to their 300 tower-mounted guns that are
controlled by a computer system that makes continuous
adjustments as temperature and humidity changes affect
snowmaking over the entire mountain.
Terrain Park Enhancements!
For guests hoping to develop their freeriding skills,
this is their year to stick their tricks! Wintergreen is
adding new beginner features and smaller tabletops to
its terrain park.
Rental Shop Improvements
To make sure guests spend their time on the slopes and
not in line, Wintergreen has invested in rental shop
improvements and new HEAD rental equipment this season.
