Why Wintergreen

• It’s all about the temperature – Wintergreen sits high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, over 3,000 feet above the valley. Temperatures are generally 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding area providing summer temperatures rarely above 80 degrees and winter temperatures perfect for snowmaking.
