History

A Winter Wonderland BY KEN WILSON

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

THEY CALL IT WINTERGREEN, but it’s white in the winter, to the delight of skiers, skaters, and nature lovers who like a nip in the air. Come November, there is snow on them thar hills, and whether it’s man-made or natural, there are some people going down the long slopes, some going down the short ones, and others just going down on their rears. Wintergreen’s state-of-the-art computerized snow system makes it the East Coast’s only resort with an automated snow making system that covers all its slopes, guaranteeing that every day is a snow day, all season long. The 11,000-acre resort boasts 130 slide-able acres with 24 ski and snowboard slopes and trails, two terrain parks, the state’s largest tubing park, and a snow park for young kids.

With its year ‘round activities, amenities and community, Wintergreen is what first draws many visitors to Nelson County. But the region’s unspoiled beauty, affordable prices on first and second homes, and quick and easy access to major metropolitan areas convinces many of them stay, and to live on the mountain or in the Stoney Creek community just eight miles away. “Wintergreen and Stoney Creek have always been a big draw to Nelson County,” says Mountain Area Realty’s Chastity Morgan. “Their numerous amenities coupled with natural beauty makes them appealing as a destination or a place to call home.” Mountain Area Realty’s David Ferrall agrees: “What draws people is the beauty of the county and the breweries and wineries, hiking, skiing and golf.”

With its year ‘round activities, amenities and community, Wintergreen is what first draws many visitors to Nelson County.

Named for Thomas Nelson Jr., the third Governor of Virginia and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Nelson County is bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains to the northwest, and the James River the southeast. Sioux, Iroquois, Monacan and Saponi tribes first populated it. Monacan and Cherokee tribe descendants still live there today. Today Wintergreen Resort anchors Nelson’s economy, bolstered by a rejuvenated agri-business: farms, orchards, breweries, wineries and a cidery. Portions of virgin land have been preserved as part of the George Washington Natural Forest and Shenandoah National Park.

How They Get All That Snow Wintergreen stays white when it wants to thanks to a sophisticated, computerized snowmaking system installed during winter 2002-2003, and frequently upgraded since. This complex system makes twice as much snow twice as fast as its previous system, using some 40,000 linear feet of pipeline, more than 400 snow guns, and 45 weather stations. It makes Wintergreen the only ski area in the United States with 100 percent of its terrain covered by automated snowmaking. It also gives Wintergreen’s snow sports

surfaces a uniform depth and consistency of snow quality from the top of the slopes to the bottom. The system also allows the resort to recover more quickly from rain or unseasonably warm periods, making possible an extended snow sports season. Recent seasonal temperatures allowed it to pump approximately 11 million gallons of water through its snow guns in just two days. Depending on Mother Nature’s own whims, Wintergreen makes snow from November into March, and even as late as early April. Its ski events typically run through early March, sometimes later. “This is a dramatic improvement in snow-making capacity,” says Brian Chase with Wintergreen Resort Premier Property. “We just had opening ski weekend. I talked to several people who were raving about the quality of the conditions; it’s pretty extraordinary how well and how quickly you can make great quality snow now.”

zoom down this “Scream Machine” at speeds up to 30 mph, then take a conveyor lift back up and do it again. Slide, glide and spin fans can enjoy the 45x90 foot Shamokin Ice Rink, located in the heart of the mountain village, just off the Blue Ridge Terrace. Refrigerated by a 125-ton chiller, it accommodates up to 60 people at a time.

Lessons Wintergreen Resort offers ski and snowboard instruction for all ages and ability levels based on the American Teaching System. The five-week Mountain Mornings ski program for kids ages 3-6 includes approximately two hours of on-snow lesson time per lesson, a four-hour lift ticket, and rental equipment. Parents are encouraged to ski for free, or relax in The Gristmill coffee shop while their kids learn. The Treehouse serves kids 4-14 while offering childcare for kids 2 and a half to 12.

Twenty-eight percent of Wintergreen’s snowy terrain is considered suitable for beginners, while 16 percent is more difficult; 44 percent is more challenging yet, and 12 percent is for experts only. Slopes include the Cliffhanger, a double-black-diamond expert hill, and Outer Limits, a 2,000-foot single-black-diamond. Eagles Swoop and Tyro are for intermediate skiers. Upper & Lower Dobie are for beginners. Wintergreen’s Terrain Park is the place to hone ski freestyle, on a progression of features that designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels. Frequent changes to the layout of its more than 40 features keep it challenging even for daredevils. On any given day the park might feature tabletops and fun boxes, spines and hips, straight, rainbow, and s-rails, battleships and down-kinks. A dedicated lift takes users back up the slope fast – though not as fast as they went down! Virginia’s largest tubing park, the Plunge, is built on a hill longer than three football fields. Tubing fans (ages 6 and up, and at least 42 inches tall)

for age 3 and up is a full day program offering an hour of introductory ski instruction, plus arts, crafts and group games. The Ridgely’s Rippers program for ages 4-14 teaches skiing, and Mountain Explorers for ages 7-14 teaches both skiing and snowboarding. Mountain Explorers Pro is a multiple day program for intermediate-advanced skiers ages 7-14. Lunch, snacks, and hot chocolate are served between lessons. More experienced and intrepid snow sporters can try a variety of seasonal competitions, including the Freestyle Double Cross and the Winter Terrain Park Series, (three rail jams and two slope styles), and NASTAR (National Standard Race), the largest public grassroots ski race program in the world. Wintergreen’s NASTAR racecourse is open to skiers Saturday and Sunday afternoons from noon to 2:00 pm, weather permitting.

plus golf, tennis, swimming and hiking in warm weather. Just like Nelson County. “There is so much to see and do as a resident. I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere else,” says Maureen Kelly, of Nelson’s Economic Development and Tourism office, who’s been here over 30 years. “I love the people, as well as their stewardship of the environment. I love the fact that Wintergreen is on the mountain and yet we have the beautiful Rockfish Valley and the Shenandoah Valley on the other side. I love the roads; I love the opportunities for outdoor recreation; I adore all the wonderful culinary businesses as well as the attractions.” Marlo Allen with Mountain Area Realty has lived in Nelson County all her life and owns property at Stoney Creek and Wintergreen. “It’s a beautiful place to grow up,” she says. “There are so many things to do: hiking, wonderful rivers for canoeing and kayaking, a great farmer’s market here in Nellysford, and just a good sense of community. It’s a beautiful place for people to visit and unwind. But you’re also not too far from Charlottesville and other things, be it for work or shopping.” “I think one of the attractions is the lower taxes here – people are amazed at what you get without having to pay excessive taxes like they’re used to in some of these other northern states. We get a lot of people who move here who want a little slower pace but to still not be too far from even your larger cities like D.C. and Richmond. We even get people who buy a second home here initially to someday retire here, and of course we do get a lot of second home buyers because of all the outdoor activities.” Interested homebuyers can choose mountaintop living in Wintergreen itself, or valley living in the nearby Wintergreen community of Stoney Creek. “They are sometimes different buyers,” Allen notes. “On top of the mountain, a lot of times you’ll get people who want to be more active, right there with the action. In Stoney Creek, they don’t have to be right there in the midst of it. Some people like not having to drive as high. Some people like the elevated lots and the views those offer. A lot of people in Stoney Creek live there full-time, and they get together. It’s a very social community, whether you want to golf

or ski or not.” Stoney Creek residents can enjoy a range of resort activities right there in the valley, including 27 holes of golf, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and twenty-acre Lake Monocan Park. Park amenities include a snack bar and a picnic area with charcoal grills, horseshoe pits, a sand beach with volleyball court, plus recreational equipment. Chase estimates that about 85 percent of homes on the mountain are “second homes, vacation getaways. In Stoney Creek, probably 70 percent or more represent a full or part-time resident” – maybe “a person who is pre-retirement. They’re still working but they’re coming to Stoney Creek on weekends; or they might live six months in Florida, six months in Stoney Creek. The resort is home to roughly 1,200 condos ranging in price from $70,000 to $400,000, and a variety of townhomes in the $180,000 to $400,000 price range. Detached single-family houses are valued from $200,000 to $1.5 million. Sixty-five percent of Wintergreen properties changing hands are condos, Allen says. “Some of that is driven by values – your entry point is so low now. You can get condos in the $60s. We had one sell as low as the $40s this year. Even though you have condo fees, that point of entry being so much less makes it more affordable for someone to own a second home, a second getaway. You can get a detached home as low as the $200,000s. At Stoney Creek the most popular price range right now is in the $300-400,000 range for a detached house. There are homes above and below.” Chase owns a condo on the mountain himself – a second home he purchased in 1999. “I’m there as often as I can,” he says. “I’m a native of the area, and I learned how to ski at Wintergreen. I was a junior ski instructor there, so it was a natural evolution from a childhood love of the resort to adulthood. He remembers the days of the “gravel road going up the mountain.” But while the drive up has changed dramatically, “what has always drawn people to Wintergreen – the mountain experience, the skiing, the golf – has not. “Being able to do all those things in a Blue Ridge Mountain n setting is pretty special.”

are connected by institutions such as the Farmers Market, open every Saturday morning between May and October, and the Community Center. The natural beauty is very attractive to retirees and second home owners explained David Ferrall with Nest Realty Group. It also brings people from further away, such as Richmond and DC, who want a second home and love outdoor activities such as skiing or golf. It’s not just retirees, though, that love Nelson. Ferrall recently worked with a family from California with two small children who wanted to escape the rat race and chose to settle there. He explained that out of town buyers like this family often seek out the Charlottesville area thanks to the many awards it has received for being a great place to live. Then they discover Nelson, which is nearby but more affordable with lower taxes and great mountain views.

Scenic Nelson County A Great Place to Call Home

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

ind Nelson County by traveling south from Charlottesville on Route 29 or Route 151. A largely rural county, Nelson is home to a growing number of agri businesses including orchards, wineries and breweries, a cidery and a recently opened distillery. A second distillery is scheduled for a 2015 opening. Nelson also offers a host of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, snow boarding, skiing or golfing as well as some of the most beautiful scenery in our area. Sections of the Appalachian Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway wind through Nelson, which is also home to Wintergreen Resort. Historically Nelson is part of what was once called the Goochland frontier, which also included Albemarle and Amherst Counties. It became its own entity in 1807 when it was separated from Amherst and named for Thomas Nelson, the third governor of Virginia. As it has elsewhere in our region, the real estate market in Nelson County is recovering and agents are optimistic about the future. This is good news for Nelson homeowners, needing to sell and for buyers who can benefit from today’s unique combination of low interest rates and impressive prices on homes compared to a few years ago.

Nelson’s Natural Beauty Nelson County is well known for its natural beauty. Visitors come for the

panoramic views from the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Appalachian Trail and also enjoy the Nelson Scenic Route via Crabtree Falls, the Parkway and Route 151. Home buyers seeking spectacular views will find many opportunities in Nelson, including those available from the high elevations of Wintergreen Resort.

Tim Hess, with Wintergreen Real Estate Co., explained that people come here for amenities such as the mountain views and the hiking trails. He added that buyers who enjoy more space appreciate the low density of the county, which has only one traffic light, and where you rarely ever have to wait in line. While Nelson County is rural and spread out, Hess described the community feel there, stating that people

People come to Nelson as tourists to visit the local wineries, breweries, distilleries and most recently a cidery, all of which are big draws for this area. They come and tour these facilities, sampling the products and enjoying themselves. It’s not uncommon then for the tourists to “get a glow on” about the area and become homebuyers, Ferrall explained. “It used to be that the economic driver for the county was skiing,” Hess said. Now people come from plac-

es like Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina to visit the wineries or tour the breweries. Bold Rock Brewery, the cidery, is also a big draw with what Hess called a “magnificent facility.”

The Nelson Real Estate Market “The market is gradually recovering,” Hess said. As people are able to sell their homes elsewhere, more are free to relocate to Nelson. “It’s a great half way spot for two income families where one spouse works in Lynchburg,
