Wintergreen resort


Well. so, last year my wife and I were thinking to go ski resort. at that time, we thought it will be just a mission impossible, with a new baby on the way in the mid of this year.
however, from mid of November, we started to feel it is not something infeasible and start to gear up towarding that.
it turned out excellent. from location picking to the content of this 4 days 3 nights outting.
first, I have to mention the location, wintergreen resort, one major resort in Virginia. we considered snowshoe in west virginia seriously since beginning. but consider the distance of travel, purpose of trip and the family accommodation, wintergreen definitely had its merits.
we had a rental vacation townhouse, which is ok for size, cozy and comfortable. and never need to worry about noise. and it is far less expensive than snowshoe.
secondly, as most of us are first/second snow exposed, wintergreen's weather turned out perfect. not too cold, but cold enough to have perfect snowmaking. we are actually extremely surprised by the quality of snow on slope, and no snow anywhere else to reduce the inconvenience.
as mentioned, not many od us has serious snow experience. so, just couple snow tubing trips and some ground playing are sufficient. my 2 years spent more time having fun stumbling in snow rather than taking tube.she definitely had fun.
Me and wife spent couple hours on the slopes only, which is perfect and beyong expectation already since we ourself did not plan to go initially. It was really good feeling to know I have not forgot skiing and really had fun. the condition of slopes are excellent.
we actually didi not use the facilities of wintergreen too much except tubing park and slopes. but overall it is a well organized resort and definitely enjoyed.
