Wintergreen Resort
Carolina Parent|November 2017

Wintergreen Resort, located on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nellysford, Virginia, spans 11,000 acres of loveliness. A central lodge is located at the top of the ski resort, and a variety of condominiums and vacation homes are scattered among winding trails past waterfalls and thick forests. Here in these rolling lands, your family — particularly your children — will experience a little piece of heaven.

The Treehouse

The Treehouse is located right on the slopes. It’s a spot where kids ages 3 and older can play. Kids who have special needs, like Down syndrome or autism, are also welcome and thrive in this environment. Children can complete an hour of skiing, play in the snow or be pulled in a sled if they like. Half- and full-day sessions are available. Lunch is offered to the full-day crowd and hot cocoa is available to everyone. Parents can drop their kids off and ski kid-free if they’d like.
