Great skiing close to DC / Northern VA. The customer service is great, lifts run fast (multiple 4x and 6x high speed lifts), and the variety of terrain is excellent. They have a great deal of snowmaking capacity and run the machines anytime the temperature is right.
Weather not the greatest...and off season. Hard to give full picture.
the place is beautiful, the condos very comfortable and complete, the experience is highly recommended !!!
There for work event, stayed a night. Meals catered and we're very good.
Great slopes and friendly people. Went on a weekday so almost no lines for the lift.
A beautiful place in winter. Familiar and enjoy the snow!
Beautiful location in the blue ridge mountains. Nice amenities.
Stayed in a nice 1 bedroom loft. King size bed and bathroom upstairs. Kitchen and living room downstairs
I've only been to one other ski resort but Wintergreen is still my favorite.
Love the beautiful condominium and the little wine and cheese shop. The other restaurants are okay if you want to make reservations or have simple bar food.
Pricey but worth it. Great experience. Everyone was extremely courteous.
Snow was a bit rough, but the lift traffic was low and the runs were enjoyable.
Nice local rooted mountain to do some soul surf turns.
I was there for a Spartan Race. I did not stay in any accommodations.
We enjoy skiing there when the weather is cold enough!
The resort is located in a beautiful area. The rooms were very nice though the exact layouts vary from room to room even within the same building and floor. The kitchenette is very well equipped considering the size. The on site restaurants were fabulous.
Staff is not very inspired. Prices are pretty high for a small ski resort with little snow.
This is a quaint and nice ski resort. Short but enjoyable runs.
Definitely smaller than those I used to frequent in Lake Tahoe CA.
Facilities: Good to fair. Restaurants had good food and for a ski resort the prices were reasonable. Fair: I found the restrooms outside of the restaurants to be filthy.
Service: Poor - Of all the staff at this resort I dealt with (probably 15+) only three were friendly. The others weren't necessarily rude, they just looked stressed out and were clearly unhappy with their jobs. A real bummer when you pay money to have a good time and the staffs attitude is negative.
The ski instructor that taught my 7 years old to ski was very rude, demeaning to the kids and to some of the children's parents. I was appalled at her behavior. I almost pulled my daughter out of their learn to ski program. I will never put my kid in their learn to ski school again.
The overall negative attitude of the resort employees is why I gave the service a poor rating.
Went for a wedding, it was nice but the food at the reception was cold, bland, and looked really cheap
Needed to get away and the views and fresh air was great
The resort itself was a great experience. Fast and attentive staffing. Fun and enjoyable time. Highly recommend to weekend getaway goers.
A very enjoyable experience. The servers and hostesses were very good at The Edge, and the food was delish! The Devil's Grill gets the 5 Stars for excellent cuisine, including their new lunches. Kudos!
They were very accommodating to me for my allergies .
Overall good place but initially we were not given the good room after complaining over the house they gave a much better one. Lake for kayaking was not up to the mark which was smelling bad. However there are lot of other activities to try and explore
Nice to ski when they have snow. Little pricey. Close to Richmond.
Wintergreen slopes are great due to accessibility. Easy in/out for a day ski trip. The conditions are often less than desirable and I've noticed the freeze/thaw is much more prevalent with the higher temperatures during the day. If I was going for a longer trip I'd choose another location, but you can't beat the location.
We would like to give a shout out to "Tonia and Jennifer" who work the front desk. They went above and beyond to meet our requested needs. Also, to "Julie" who works in the spa. She treated us like royalty making sure we had everything we needed.
We discovered Wintergreen Resort last year and now will visit annually! Such an awesome place!!!!
The resort is nice. We went on a very foggy day and were unable to read the signs. After driving 15 minutes past the lodge and parking we were able to turn around and get directed to the right location. The skiing is reasonably priced.
Very easy direction and parking. Clean facility. Great views.
Stayed at Greenbrier many times. Never disappointed!!
This website does not mention closure due to coronovirus.....?
Good location, a taste of mountain life not too far from the DC Baltimore area. Nice hikes, amazing views, good base camp for trips to the Blue Ridge mountains and Shenandoah State Park.
Houses are modern and clean. Staff was very helpful and guided us through the campus. The residency program reserves our retreat in wintergreen every year and i can see why
The resort is beautiful and the staff is wonderful, however the website is cumbersome and in need of updates. Navigation around the resort could be more transparent.
The mountain takes forever and a day to climb but there are endless slopes that are open even if there wasn't much snowfall during the season
Great location for snowboarding. Conditions were fantastic but everything was pretty pricey. I would visit again but not too soon.
Rental lines were unreasonably long, ticket prices were a bit high for me to wait 2hrs then ski on I've.
Just got here but so far everything has been great and the staff have been super helpful!
Loved it!! Very clean, modern and comfy!! Loved the pool n spa area too!! Just what you need after skiing all day!!
Blues were down due to mechanical failure of ski lift
Really enjoyed our recent stay at Wintergreen. Was there to catch a matinee performance of The Sound of Music, which was absolutely amazing! We were in the 2nd floor end unit condo which would ordinarily have a really nice view overlooking the ski slopes, but unfortunately for us it was super-foggy & any hopes of a great view were soon dashed. Still, a really nice condo & a great time away!
Wish there were more option for little kids who are just beginning skiing
A group of friends and me stayed in a cabin nearby and went skiing at Wintergreen for a couple days. It was a fantastic time and they have a solid lay out. Great place to go in the Blue Ridge and I look forward coming back and exploring more of the resort.
I have been going to wintergreen for roughly 5 years as my main hill to snowboard. The best comparison I can make is to Snowshoe in West Virginia. Wintergreen has comparable lodging, fewer slopes, and less annual snowfall. If you're taking a once-a-year ski trip, snowshoe would be better. If you live closer to wintergreen and want a mountain to frequent several times a month, then I would absolutely recommend it because it snowshoe isn't really gonna be much better unless they get snow. Despite difficult weather, the new management for 2018/19 is blowing snow like nobody's business and doing a great job of keeping the slopes open. There are only three on-resort restaurants, all of which serve standard resort fair. One cafeteria, one bar and grill type of place, and a higher end restaurant. There are plenty of places to eat at the bottom of the mountain, and Nelson County is a hotbed for craft breweries.
Very nice resort to stay in the fall. The golf course is well maintained. The hiking trails are beautiful in October. The perimeter trails are real hiking trails that can be a little challenging to get to but so worth it for the views. The easiest access trail is the one for the Old Appalachian Trail and Shamokin Gorge off of Laurel Springs. There are only a couple of restaurants open between labor day and the start of leaf changing season, but there are a few in town about 25 minutes away. There is also a convenience store at the resort.
We stayed in the High Ridge Court condos and the views were amazing. We were there the first week of October and it was great, deal on the condo, hardly anyone else around. It was a very peaceful place to unplug and relax. Cell reception is spotty depending on where on the mountain you are, but that helps you totally enjoy the surroundings. There are lots of hiking trails that are well marked but you do have to look carefully for the entrances from the road. The access trails can be kind of steep especially from the Founders Vision Overlook and Chestnut Place but the trails are moderate. The trails are well maintained and blazes are easy to see.
This is the perfect getaway! We came in the summer (August) when it's very quiet on this 11,000 acre resort but I can only imagine the beauty in Fall seeing all these trees in gold, red & yellow. They say Winter is their big "on season" but this place seems like it would be amazing anytime of year. There's so much to see & do here with the lake, nature, zip line, swimming, restaurants etc. I think my favorite part is the natural beauty here. Its obvious they took great care to build the resort in the trees and leave nature to be appreciated as undisturbed as possible. The kids have loved it here!
Spent the day snowboarding, great slope with great facilities
Old school ski resort. Good accodomations, but not overly fancy
Had a great time skiing with my 4-year-old son to celebrate his birthday.
Enjoyed our stay. Our 1 bedroom condo at Three Ridges was clean and newly renovated. Kitchen was well appointed. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
This review is for a Summer trip though information for restaurants and amenities might be helpful to all.
Started at Timbers#1 building. Room was facing slope side. The view was gorgeous. Great photos of clouds just touching the top of the mountains then the next day I got pictures of the clouds in the valley.
Room was clean. King-sized bed. Firm mattress. Small kitchenette with all the pots, pans, utensils, glasses, etc. you would need to cook. Ice machine was in Timbers #2 which is right next store. Go out one door and then 10 steps to the other building and ice machine was right there.
Bathroom was nice though brighter lights would have helped near mirror. Water pressure good. Shampoo and conditioner provided were not very good. Would recommend bringing your own shampoo and conditioner. Towels were clean and fluffy.
Balcony was nice with metal chairs and table.
Air conditioning worked well. Semi-loud unit though I sleep with a fan for noise so it didn't bother me.
Had issue with internet in room but front desk had it fixed in 5 minutes.
TV was a Smart TV and had all the usual TV apps. They were already logged into an account so we didn't bother loading ours. There are only 43 channels on cable with no guide. I was able to find a guide online to help find things to watch but very limited choices of things to watch.
Labor Day events provided were great. Beer and cider tastings/full drinks. Music all day. Lift rides. Axe throwing at no cost. They should probably add a few more kid friendly things to do but, otherwise, it was a great time.
Food choices are really limited to what the resort has on property. They were good but pricey. Everything we ate was good at The Edge, Coppermine, Devil's Grille and even the cafe inside the lodge. Didn't see any delivery places available nor did we see any places to eat unless you drove 20 minutes down the mountain. The Resort provides a free shuttle all over the Resort area. Other points of interest down the mountain are Bold Rock Cidery, Blue Toad Cidery and Devils Backbone brewery and distillery. They are all within 5-10 minutes of each other.
Fitness center was nice though finding how to get to it took some asking of someone coming out of the locker room to guide us. From the outside, you enter through the door that says Spa. You have to walk through the indoor pool area to get to the Fitness Center. It has many pieces of equipment and they are clean and up to date. The Fitness Center area has WiFi but it was a dead cellphone zone on our carrier. We saw but did not use the indoor or outdoor pools nor the indoor or outdoor hot tubs.
We did Shamokin Falls hike and it was well worth it. Multiple entrances but we entered near the Electric Substation at the end of the road. The walk back was KILLER. Up hill at a 15-20% incline. I believe the other two entrances to the trail/falls are a much easier hike as we saw many kids from 5+ doing the hike. So look for those entrances.
Lake Monocan, at the bottom of the mountain, is nice. We didn't get in the water but temperature seemed OK. See my review for Lake Monocan on Google as well.
Iceberg without the lettuce . Crazy drunk college kids everywhere . No thanks !
Great place to stay, very beautiful. And the food was good
People really make or break the experience at and they broke this one. From an barely helpful and indifferent equipment rental staff to down right rude instructors, I will not ever go back to this ski place. Your money would be spent better at another ski resort. The only good thing about this place was that they have pretty nice rental equipment, but you better hope that you know how to put it on. It was completely up to me to outfit my 3 children (ages 4-9) and myself because the staff just simply handed over the equipment. In addition, there are no "beginner slopes" to teach your children how to ski unless you pay for lessons, which I don't need to do as I have been a skier for my entire adult life. I have never been to a more rude and beginner-unfriendly resort. Buyer beware!
WINTERGREEN IS A SKI AND SNOWBOARDING AREA THAT HAS A HOST OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS TO DO. IF YOU ARE INTO SNOW SPORTS, THEN WINTERGREEN IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS IS THE PLACE TO TAKE SOMEONE OR JUST GO BY YOURSELF.
Got rehired to teach snowboarding, excited for the skiszn!
