Has anyone been to Wintergreen?


Grew up going there every winter and many summers it's a good resort for being on the east coast.

Assuming for the summer, there are a good bit of activities;

Summer tubing
Hiking
Zip Line
There's a lake with a ton of activities not far away
Wineries
Short drive to Charlottesville which also has some neat activities

ETA: you can also look at Massanutten

Enjoyed the week here. The temperature was never above 75 on the mountain. The valley was hotter. Elevation is 3850 max so I did not have any altitude issues. You can rent anything from a small condo to a large house.

Beautiful scenery.
Short hikes to waterfalls. Overlooks on the property where you can see for miles and miles.

Golf: Devils Knob, the mountain course is very tight. I preferred Stoney Creek which is the valley course. Being surrounded by mountains was as beautiful as looking down from the top.

They set up indoor pickleball for us, but it was hotter indoors than out, but we had fun.

The restaurants were not really open on the resort. Mostly takeout with some limited seating.

There are several brewery, cider, winery places within 30 minutes. I enjoyed Bold Rock for cider and Hilltop Winery for wine and mead.
