We in the Charlottesville area have lots of great activities from which to select, and less than 45 miles west of us is a really wonderful mountaintop playground, Wintergreen Resort. The resort website says it best…
Spanning 11,000 acres in the crests of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the resort's villas and condominiums are surrounded by hiking trails, streams, and lush forests. Stay in one of their 
quiet homes with a fireplace, an option that's ideal for escaping the rush of winter holidays. Enjoy adrenaline pumping downhill skiing, snowboarding, tubing and the brand-new Zip, a 900-foot zipline! Or, if yours is a more sedate pace, there are many recreation activities, including horse back riding, crafts, music, speakers, festivals, a spa, and more. Kids and teens can attend activities at the Treehouse and Ridgely's Fun Park, the Out of Bounds Adventure Center and The Dome at Discovery Ridge, which has lots of high-tech toys.
Wintergreen Resort is probably best known for its snow skiing, but these days, it is quite the all-encompassing snow sports center. There are beginner-to-expert terrain for skiers and riders, and the resorts boasts Virginia's largest tubing park. There are all sorts of opportunities for lessons in each of the sports, and there are extensive Kids Programs. Click here to learn about all of the many Winter Sports.
It's really beautiful driving to Wintergreen Resort, and it's a comfortable day trip from Charlottesville that can be jam-packed with fun or filled with relaxation. Ahhh, the spa... massages, body wraps, skin care treatments, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas. In fact, you might decide to stay! That's certainly possible, because there are any number of wonderful lodging and dining possibilities!
