Photo By Paul Purpura : NCL Magazine : Skiing opens at Wintergreen Resort, Virginia.Wintergreen Resort - Nelson County, VirginiaSkiers are getting what had become a rare treat over the past several years, Thanksgiving weekend skiing at
Wintergreen Resort. For the past several years temperatures were too warm for skiing that early, but over the past few weeks colder temps up in the higher elevations have allowed crews to make plenty of snow on the slopes.
As we told you here last week, Wintergreen will be opening some of the slopes along with the tubing park on Saturday. They will then close the slopes next week for additional snow making and grooming then reopen the following weekend if the weather cooperates.
You can always get the latest slope conditions by clicking on weather up above and selecting
Wintergreen Ski Conditions. See you on the slopes!
Meanwhile, it
looks as if some wintry weather may be on the way for Central Virginia and Nelson County. An area of disturbed weather may bring freezing precip to the region after midnight Saturday night into Sunday morning.
