• This Week at Wintergreen

It's a holiday - take the day off! Check out the Holiday Package with lodging and lifts at great savings - or rekindle the romance with our Romantic Getaway package. Freestyle will have a Demo Day for those who want to try out the latest in skis and snowboards. We'll keep the little ones safe with the 2009 launch of the Safe Sliders program. And for those who love to learn and understand, we'll have a snowmaking seminar. There really is a science to how we make the best snow in the southeast.

New for this weekend we're featuring Late Night Thrills on Sunday night. The slopes will stay open until midnight, we'll have late night tubing, a rail jam from 7-9 PM and Teen DJ party in The Dome. Late night also means some serious snacks, so be sure to stop by Pryor's and The Edge to satisfy those cravings.

Safe Sliders

To celebrate the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) National Safety Awareness Week, Wintergreen launches its 2009 Safe Sliders program with an event featuring prizes, giveaways and Ridgely the Bear on the Blue Ridge Terrace. Targeting children ages seven to 14, the Safe Sliders program promotes a unified safety message by distributing coloring books that feature safety guidelines; providing reflective zipper pulls that attach to children's jackets; arranging ski helmet giveaways; as well as other presentations and safety programs throughout the season.

Safe Sliders, a program developed by Wintergreen Resort and the University of Virginia Children's Hospital, recently won the Best Youth Safety Program award from the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) and the Excellence in Programming Award from the National Resort and Commercial Recreation Association (RCRA).
