Virginia Skiing & Snowboarding
Not many historic, luxury resorts can say they have their own ski slopes on property, but then again, The Omni Homestead Resort isn’t like most resorts. The resort is a Rossignol Experience Center featuring Rossignol’s award-winning Experience skis with Auto Turn Rocker and the latest ski innovations. This provides skiers of all ages and abilities with more versatility, ease-of-use, and progressive all-mountain performance than ever before. Beginner to advanced skiers will benefit from the unique combination of our Sepp Kober Ski School and Rossignol Experience Center.
Non-skiers can ice skate on our outdoor rink, try snow tubing or warm up with fireside s’mores and hot cocoa at the Mountain Lodge and call it a perfect day.
