JANUARY 4 - JANUARY 10, 2017 ISSUE 26-01

t can chill, it can challenge, it can soothe and inspire. It’s a spot to relax, and explore, and a place to have fun and just let loose. Twice named Best Ski Resort by readers of the Washington Post, Nelson County’s four-season, 11,000-acre Wintergreen Resort is an allin-one sports playground, conference center and nature retreat, with magnificent mountain views, classy amenities, fine dining and a world-class snowmaking system. Twenty-seven hundred lucky people make their homes there year round, relishing Wintergreen’s unspoiled beauty, affordable mortgages, and close proximity to major metropolitan areas. Vacationers and day-trippers come for golf and tennis, hiking and fly fish-

ing, and so much more—including a month-long classical music festival—in the warmer months, but some 150,000 visitors enjoy it over the course of the winter season alone. Let’s take a look at winter “on the mountain.”

Snow Winter sports enthusiasts love winter in the air, but they need winter on the ground, and Wintergreen is where to find it. The resort’s snowmaking system is “a big deal,” General Manager Hank Thiess says. “People come from all over the world to look at what we do here.” With 40,000 linear feet of pipeline, more than 400 snow guns, and 45 weather stations, Snowpower—as the system has been newly named—can pump out 8,000 gallons of the cold white stuff a minute. “If you could direct all that snowmaking onto a foot-

ball field,” Thiess says, “that would result in thirty-seven feet of snow in 24 hours,” (and a canceled game). Wintergreen is the only ski area in the U.S with 100 percent of its terrain covered by automated snowmaking. And this is snow of a uniform depth and consistency and quality from the top of the slopes to the bottom. Snowpower allows Wintergreen to recover quickly from rain or unseasonably warm periods, making possible its extended snow-sports season. Depending on Mother Nature’s whims, Wintergreen may make snow from November into March, or even as late as early April. Its ski events typically run through early March, sometimes later. All that snow covers 130 slantwise acres, on which are 24 ski and snowboard slopes and trails, two terrain

parks, the state’s largest tubing park, and a snow park for young kids. Twenty-three percent of Wintergreen’s snow terrain is considered suitable for beginners, while 35 percent is for intermediate and 42 percent for advanced and expert sliders.

Skiing Skiing is Wintergreen’s most popular sport, with tubing next. Skis (and snowboards), boots and poles may all be rented, either for individual sessions, or for a whole season at a time. Slopes are open all day long, as well as Tuesday through Sunday nights. Wintergreen’s snowscapes are suitable for every level of experience and expertise. The Upper & Lower Dobie slopes attract beginners; Eagles Swoop and Tyro are for intermediate skiers; a 2,000-foot single-black-diamond named The Out-

The park boasts seven lifts able to handle as many as 11,200 skiers an hour, including two high speed lifts with a six-passenger capacity. Wintergreen skiers can also participate in NASTAR (National Standard Race), the largest public grassroots ski race program in the world. Across the country, more than 95,000 NASTAR participants compete for platinum, gold, silver and bronze medals in appropriate age and gender groups. Participants are also ranked by ability. Top ranked racers qualify to compete in the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships. The NASTAR race course is open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from noon to 2:00 p.m., weather permitting. The cost is $7 for two timed runs or $15 for unlimited runs. The race takes place in modified Giant Slalom format. Racers are timed electronically, and results are posted online in real time. Medals are awarded to all participants who qualify as compared to the pacesetters of the day.

all ages learn to ski in full and half-day programs that include lunch, snacks, and hot chocolate. Treehouse programs run Monday through Friday.

Tubing Wintergreen’s popular tubing park is the largest in Virginia. Officially called the Plunge but nicknamed the “scream machine,” it’s more than three football fields long, long enough to get going nearly 30 miles per hour. A conveyor lift takes tubes and tubers back up the hill, again and again.

Skating Folks who prefer sliding on a flat surface can head to the Shamokin Ice Skating Rink outside on the Blue Ridge Terrace, where a 150-ton “chiller” keeps the ice icy when the weather is not. The 45 x 90 foot rink can hold up to sixty skaters at a time, and is available

Freestyle Skiing Voted 1st Place by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine, Wintergreen’s Terrain Park lets thrill seekers hone their freestyle skills, with a progression of features suited for every skill level. Adding to the challenge, the layout of the more than 40 features is changed frequently. On any given day skiers will find an arrangement of tabletops and fun boxes, spines and hips, straight rails, s-rails, rainbow rails, battleships, and down-kinks. To handle the high traffic on weekends, one lift is dedicated entirely to the terrain park. Thiess stresses that park staff strive for a safe environment, urging users “to abide by the rules and be respectful of other people. There’s a phrase that is used there,” Theiss says. “It’s ‘respect gets respect.’ Everybody watches out for the other person.” The park also hosts a series of five events throughout the season, including three Rail Jams (January 15, February 19, and March 6) and two Slopestyles (January 9 and February 26). These events are open to skiers and snowboarders of all ages with a valid lift ticket. The registration fee is $25. Prizes will be awarded for individual events; skiers who compete in at least three out of five events are eligible to win the Grand Prize.

Skiing Lessons Wintergreen’s ski and snowboard instruction is available for all ages and ability levels, and is based on the

American Teaching System. The fiveweek Mountain Mornings ski program for kids ages three to six includes approximately two hours of on-snow time per lesson, a four-hour lift ticket, and rental equipment. The Treehouse serves kids four to fourteen, while offering childcare for kids two-and-a-half to twelve. The Childcare plus Snowplay program for ages three 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 four to fourteen teaches skiing, and Mountain Explorers for ages sev-

en to fourteen teaches both skiing and snowboarding. Mountain Explorers Pro is a multiple-day program for intermediate-advanced skiers ages seven to fourteen. Lunch, snacks, and hot chocolate are served between lessons. Parents are encouraged to ski for free, or relax in The Gristmill coffee shop while their kids play and learn. Ridgely the Bear makes surprise appearances at Ridgely’s Fun Park, where kids three to eleven love the mini-tubing carousel, bear paw snow shoes, tunnels, and the gentle tubing hill each weekend from December through February.

Nelson’s Wintergreen Resort is a year-round sportsman’s paradise, with ski trails and snowboard parks, mountain bike and horseback trails, golf links and tennis courts. Nel-

son’s scenic length of the Appalachian Trail includes Crabtree Falls, the highest waterfall on the East Coast, while Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway provide stunning views as they traverse gorgeous mountain passes. Are you a wine and beer loving foodie? Drive along Nelson’s Route 151 and you’ll find five wineries, three breweries, and a cidery, plus fruit orchards, farm stands and bed & breakfasts. Are

you a fan of the heartwarming family drama, The Waltons, a hit TV show still beloved in reruns? Its Walton’s Mountain setting is based on the Nelson town of Schuyler, home to the show’s creator, the late Earl Hammer, Jr., and proud site of the Walton Museum (open March through November). Do you enjoy tastes and treks, views and brews? As creative hipster enterprises and agri-businesses have joined golf courses and ski slopes in the gorgeous Central Virginia countryside, Nelson has become downright fashionable for young and old alike, drawing the sportsmen and the culinarily-inclined, the farm-to-table crowd and the second home gang. Some are tourists, others homebuyers, and, still others, tourists who become homebuyers enchanted with Nelson’s rural character and lively lifestyles, all in close proximity to major metropolitan centers. Home to only 15,000 people in the 2010 census, Nelson was originally inhabited by the Siouan-speaking Nahyssan tribe. Englishmen began settling there in the 1600s. Created in 1808, it was named for Thomas Nelson, Jr., a planter and soldier who represented Virginia in the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence, and served as Governor of Virginia for five months in 1781.

Scenic Loop Perhaps the best way to see Nelson for the first time is to drive or bike the Woodson’s Mill

Ridge in the Rockfish Valley that makes a lovely day trip and shopping excursion. Oenophiles can sip and sample at Afton Mountain Vineyards, Cardinal Point Vineyard and Winery, Flying Fox Vineyard and Winery, Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery and Veritas Vineyard. Beer lovers can try the brews at Blue Mountain Brewery, Devils Backbone Brewing Company and Wild Wolf Brewery; and hard cider connoisseurs can enjoy a glass of cider and the “apple-tisers” (cheese board, soft pretzel, ham sliders) on decks and terraces overlooking the Rockfish River at Bold Rock Hard Cider. Many 151 establishments host lively social scenes on the weekends, with good food and live music.

Fruit Nelson’s eleven apple orchards are popular fall destinations, especially on festival days. Drumheller’s Orchard dates back to 1937, when Everette and Eva Drumheller planted peach and apple trees on an unattended Lovingston farm. Seamans’ Orchard in Tyro grew out of a family agricultural business begun by the Lea brothers in 1933. Alton R. and Joyce Lea Seaman took over

and opportunities to explore its picturesque setting. Also in rural Nelson, The Infamous Stringdusters will headline the fifth annual version of The Festy on Columbus Day weekend, October 6-8. Heavy on the bluegrass, but featuring a wide variety of roots and Americana-loving acts, The Festy is a proud, family-oriented event.

At Home Homebuyers attracted to all this natural beauty and easy livin’ often look first at the housing options on Wintergreen Mountain, or into the valley below, where the homes in Stoney Point have impressive mountain views. Maureen Kelly, of Nelson County’s Economic Development and Tourism office, has been a Nelson resident for over 30 years, and she’s not going anywhere. “I love living here because of the people,” Kelly says, “as well as their attitude about stewardship of the environment. I love the actual setting, 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. I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere else.” n
