INDUSTRY NEWS Massanutten is consistently made aware of companies that defraud owners like you out of thousands of dollars with the promise of selling or renting their timeshare.

These companies typically claim they can sell/rent your timeshare, allege they have a ready buyer/renter and usually charge large upfront fees. There are also relief companies which typically claim that you can be released from your contract and/ or relieved of your annual maintenance/assessment fees.

Some of these companies even allege they have a relationship with Massanutten.

Read the full article on page 12.

OF SCAMS

Don’t be tricked by professional-looking ads, documents, websites, or certain business ratings. These resale and relief companies usually shut down after a few years when they start to feel the pressure of government agencies or mounting lawsuits and simply start a new company.

HOW TO SPOT A SCAM: • Unprompted initial contact • False promises If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

• Upfront fees

CONTACT US!

We urge you to not be fooled by any of these companies.

Protect yourself and your timeshare ownership! Stay up to date on the latest scam offers in the resale market at owners.massresort.com/ billboard and www.arda-roc.org and be on the lookout for suspicious behavior. When in doubt, contact us at ownersassoc@ massresort.com.

TRAVEL PROTECTION A Key Part Of Every Vacation One of the most common questions asked these days is, “How can I better protect myself against events that might disrupt our vacation?”

Fortunately, we have a solution with our new travel protection, with improved benefits to address the needs of timeshare owners. For $89 per reservation, you can purchase it with ease.

Subject to plan terms and conditions, here are just 5 of the numerous components in the plan you may value: 1. TRIP CANCELLATION: Most people don’t realize that an unexpected medical issue like a sickness or injury, is the #1 reason people cancel vacation. Whether they occur to you, a family member, or even a traveling companion.

Our travel protection covers over 30 reasons for trip cancellation, including the death of your pet. Travel protection can reimburse your lost maintenance dues and fees for a covered cancellation, including prepaid and non-refundable airfare, lift tickets, or greens fees incidental to your trip with us.

2. TRIP DELAY: Unfortunately, airlines are delayed more than we like, and it’s usually due to extreme weather events, at any time of year. After a 4-hour delay for a covered reason, our travel protection can reimburse you for meals, and even a hotel room if you seek that security or sanctuary. Trip Delay benefits can help you and your family to avoid a night in an airport, allowing you to travel refreshed when your next flight is available.

3. MEDICAL FINANCIAL PROTECTIONS: Our travel protection can provide you with Emergency Accident and Sickness Medical Expense coverage worldwide, for covered accidents or sicknesses that might occur, from serious events requiring hospitalization, to minor incidents like stitches.

4. RENTAL CAR PROTECTIONS: If you rent a car, our travel protection automatically includes a benefit for Rental Car and Theft Damage on a primary basis, which may help remove some worry about physical

damage to the rental car from collision, theft, vandalism, natural disaster, or other causes beyond your control.

5. CANCEL FOR ANY REASON (Not available in NY.) Provided you purchase travel protection at least 60 days prior to travel, for an additional cost, you can quickly upgrade to a Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) "Choice" plan. Concerned about having a cancellation issue that isn’t covered, like: Don’t want to go? Closed borders? Just Can't go?

Upgrading to our “Choice” plan will allow you to cancel your trip for any reason not otherwise covered by the plan, and get reimbursed up to 70% of your pre-paid nonrefundable loss, provided you cancel at least 24-hours prior to your scheduled departure date. You may only upgrade to the Choice plan within 72 hours after plan purchase.

Additional terms apply.

Want to learn more, or enroll? Visit Travel Protection in the Owners Website.

This advertisement contains highlights of the plan, which include travel insurance coverages underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company. The plans also contain noninsurance Travel Assistance Services provided by On Call International.

Coverages may vary and not all coverage is available in all jurisdictions. Insurance coverages are subject to the terms, limitations and exclusions in the plan, including an exclusion for pre-existing conditions. CA DOI toll free number: 800927-4357. MD Insurance Administration: 800-492-6116 or 410-468-2340. The cost of your plan is for the entire plan, which consists of both insurance and non-insurance components.

THE NUTT® GOING GREEN

AT M A S S A N U T T E N

You’ve heard us say it, now watch us mean it! We’re excited to be announcing that Massanutten Resort is moving toward sustainability with energy efficient solar power arrays – believed to be the first of its kind to a major ski and summer resort in Virginia!

Owners and guests are sure to start noticing small changes around the resort – for the better - in the year to come as we here at Massanutten Resort look to reduce our carbon footprints by implementing at least two solar light arrays in our move towards more energy efficient operations.

The first two at the Woodstone Check-In Center and above the Laundry Facilities. The third project, waiting on approval from Rockingham County will be

a ground panel adjacent to the WaterPark expected to produce more than 1.9 million kWh per year. That is compared to the average single-family household which produces 14,000 kWh of electricity annually!

The ski area is also undergoing several major efficiency upgrades including adding more efficient snowmaking pumps and snow guns, which will reduce total energy consumption by nearly 30% from the baseline. All of the ski slope lighting will

be replaced with LED bulbs, saving an average of 195,000 kWh of electricity per year.

The Resort already has a lot of green initiatives including using energy efficient lighting, energy star appliances, water efficient fixtures, green cleaning products, solar lighting at the golf pro shop, electric vehicle charging stations, and smart irrigation controls. Through our recycling program, we divert 170 tons of waste from the landfill annually.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream • • • • •

1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup granulated sugar A pinch salt 2 cups heavy cream 2 tbsp pure vanilla bean paste

1.

In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed or whisk to combine the milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.

Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or overnight.

2. Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture.

What Owners Are Saying

ABOUT THEIR STAY AT THE NUTT® One of my favorite memories is when we went horseback riding on a beautiful day in May several years ago. My daughter was 10 years old and had never been on a horse.

Everyone made her feel comfortable.

She still talks about it today. - Barbara My favorite memory is the very first time visiting Massanutten. My wife and myself went to get an oil change at a Jiffy Lube and while leaving she saw the stand to enter for a vacation at the resort along with a gift card. She told me “hey, you never know. No one has entered yet.” And then that’s when we got the phone call that we’ve actually won. Arriving at the resort was amazing. All the mountains, green as can be and everyone walking freely amongst the deer was a sight I’ve never seen before. When pulling into the room we stayed in, we were actually about 5 feet away from a deer!!! He came up to the car and let me pet him too! And from there I knew I wanted to be a part of this amazing atmosphere. Taking a picture at the top of one of the mountains was the best feeling ever. Coming from NYC this was waaaay out of my comfort zone, but yet it was like I belong. - Quintin We've been to Massanutten plenty of times, but July 2020 was the first time we had participated in the adventure park since our son is old enough now. The tubing was super fun! My 4-year-old loved it! The gem mining was also a real hit!

My favorite place to go when we come visit is the top of the mountain to look at the valley and it's beauty! - Candice

There are so many activities to keep everyone busy and having fun! Fall foliage is so beautiful around the area. Visiting the trails with waterfalls and amazing views are always so enjoyable in the fall. Winter activities are always fun!

It’s open and picturesque fairways are good for novice golfers yet offer skill challenges for experts. The Driving Range features 25 practice stalls and a grass hitting area as well as a short game practice area. Meet some of our teammates who work at our beautiful golf courses and driving range.

What is one stand out guest memory you’ve had since working at Massanutten?

Last year, I had the opportunity to work with the Wounded Warrior Program and having the opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much for their country was gratifying.​ - Rick I gave a golf lesson to an owner years ago and he comes back every year to talk with me.

He said that lesson made him fall in love with the game again.​- Daryl I met a fellow hunter 6 or 7 years ago and we still chat from time to time.​- Mike​

How would you describe Massanutten in one word?

Fun: Our owners and guests having fun during their stay. I get to help provide those fun experiences by keeping the golf courses in good shape. - Dennis

Friendly: The employees strive to make each owner/guest experience a friendly encounter. - Daryl

Enjoyable: Massanutten offers many activities for their employees and guests.

If you like to be outside as I do, you can find many things to occupy your time. - Mike

Multi-dimensional: Massanutten is a destination that has many different amenities to satisfy different lifestyles with the four seasons available. - Rick
