FURTHER EFFORTS TO KEEP THE ‘GREEN’ IN WINTERGREEN!
As part of our ongoing effort to be environmentally responsible,
Wintergreen Resort has purchased Renewable Energy Credits (R.E.C.’s) that
will significantly offset its consumption during the next year. An REC
purchase guarantees the amount of electricity the resort uses is replaced
onto the power grid with renewable energy. With the purchase of the RECs
we are counterbalancing the electricity used for three ski lifts. Wintergreen
Resort is purchasing 791,652 kilowatt hours (KWh) of RECs in the next
year from various sources that include wind, biomass, and low-impact
hydroelectric. Wintergreen Resort is keenly sensitive to the delicate balance
between nature and development and we will continue to be responsible in
our energy management practices.
Welcome to the 2007-08
Winter Season!
For more than three decades, Wintergreen Resort has provided members and guests with an array of
winter sport options, fine dining, oversized accommodations and just plain fun. This season will prove
to be no exception.
New options at the resort are sure to be a hit with your family, beginning with the always comfortable
family fun center, The Dome at Out of Bounds located at Discovery Ridge, to glade skiing, to new
exotic treatments at The Wintergarden Spa, to indoor golf instruction at the Instructional Studio at
Devils Knob. Of course, visitors can still enjoy indoor tennis at Devils Knob, golf at Stoney Creek
and expert personal or group instruction on the slopes with one of our highly trained staff members. A
visit from our mascot Ridgely or a day at the Treehouse will delight children …the place where fun is
always in vogue.
So whatever your interest, age, expertise or taste, please be assured that over 1,000 Wintergreen Resort
employees stand ready to make your visit to Wintergreen a most enjoyable experience. If we can do
anything to make you more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to call on us.
Cordially,
Wintergreen Resort
SUNRISE GLADES OPENS THIS WINTER
Wintergreen Resort is offering glade skiing this year to all advanced
skiers and riders. Sunrise Glades is Wintergreen’s first off-trail slope and
will provide an exciting new adventure. Glade skiing is enjoyed on wooded
terrain and our new auxiliary slope is located between Tyro, Tequila, and
Sunrise. Advanced skiers and riders should remember that this area is not
groomed and will be available only when natural conditions permit. If you
enjoy off-trail skiing or riding, Sunrise Glades is for you! For up-to-date
slope information, check the daily ski reports at wintergreenresort.com.
GIVE YOUR PALETTE A RIDE THIS WINTER SEASON!
We are happy to announce the opening of the new and improved Pryor’s
Porch Cafeteria. In addition to its great location the sparkling Pryor’s Porch
features a complete new interior design and, most importantly, great food for
the hungry guest. Because Pryor’s Porch is located near the Blue Ridge
Terrace, it is a great place to meet friends and warm up with a toasty hot
chocolate. All of Wintergreen’s restaurants are featuring new menus this
winter season, so there will be something to please every palette!

But while some activities come to a close, much of the resort is just beginning
to come to life. At areas seldom seen by guests, work crews are reporting for
duty including a hearty group of about 10, who will be up all night, operating
the resort’s sophisticated snowmaking system and grooming the slopes. As the
crews work throughout the night, the enjoyment of thousands of guests lies in
their abilities to assist Mother Nature in the creation of a winter wonderland.
“Our staff is our No. 1 resource,” says Jay Roberts, Vice President of Mountain
Operations for Wintergreen Resort. “We have to get the product right for the
next day’s customers. You want to be proud of it, enough that you want to put
your name on it.”
Wintergreen’s round-the-clock dedication to their mountain is essential to
maintaining its reputation for providing skiers with snow surfaces of exceptional
quality. And twice, Wintergreen has earned honors as “Best Ski Resort” by the
readers of WashingtonPost.com; a distinction unmatched by any other facility.
Stretched atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, the resort is recognized as the
most delightful winter playground in the Mid-Atlantic. Snow-covered amenities
include the most extensive terrain for skiers and riders alike, from beginners to
experts, as well as Virginia’s largest tubing park.
It all starts, simply enough, with snow. While Wintergreen celebrates its natural
snowfall, the resort is also home to one of the world’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems. Installed during the 2002-2003 winter season and continuously
upgraded, this state-of-the-art York® computerized snowmaking system allows
Wintergreen to consistently offer the Mid-Atlantic’s best skiing and snowboarding
surfaces. “We can do wonderful things with it,” Roberts said. “It is nice to have
natural snow, but our snowmaking system and experience using the system
allows us to make the highest quality snow across the mountain quickly. We have
the ability to start and stop each gun from a desktop at the snowmaking plant.”
Wintergreen is the only ski area on the East Coast to boast 100 percent of its
terrain covered by automated snowmaking. Each night, up to five snowmakers
are on the trails implementing the complex system that involves approximately
40,000 linear feet of pipeline, with outlets every 125 feet, more than 400 snowguns and 45 weather stations. The result is often called the “gold-standard” of
snowsports surfaces, with a uniformity of depth and consistency of snow quality from
the top of the slopes to the bottom. And, as so many snow sport publications have
noted, the system enables the resort to quickly “rebound” and provide excellent
conditions following rain or the occasional warm spell. The system is so powerful
and efficient, it can make enough snow to cover the equilivent of a football field
with 12 feet of snow in a 10 hour period!
“Quality is more important than quantity,” Roberts says of the snowpack. “You
only ski on the top couple of inches. You can have 100 inches of snow, but if the
top surfaces are of poor quality, the rest is insignificant. We balance the depth of
our snow with the quality of our snow.”

t’s almost 11 p.m. and only the most dedicated skiers and snowboarders
remain on the mountain, squeezing in one more run on the expansive
lighted terrain at Wintergreen Resort. While some guests stroll back toward
their warm rooms for the night others stop off at The Edge for a little something before last call.

THE WINTERGARDEN SPA’S
“SOLE SUNDAE” PEDICURE
continued...
Once the snow is produced, it’s up to the “groomers”
to shape and smooth the trails in a night-long process.
They drive grooming machines that work the snow a bit
like a riding lawnmower creates a uniform height to a golf
course fairway….except this equipment weighs in at over
six tons! And that part of the job can be uncomfortably
hot – yes hot – despite working at 3,515 feet in the
middle of December. “The outside temperature can
be in single digits, but you can fry eggs on the dashboard of a grooming tractor,” notes Scott Gunnell,
Slope Services Manager at Wintergreen Resort. Despite
the tough conditions Gunnell says dedication and pride
are prime motivators of the staff. “Nothing is impossible.
After all, we’re making snow and operate a ski area
in the South. We do what many think is impossible
every day.”

except this equipment weighs in at over six tons!
Wintergreen Resort’s Wintergarden Spa is
serving up the ultimate in comfort food—
for your feet! You’ll melt away with sheer
relaxation when you get a “taste” of the
spa’s new Sole Sundae Pedicure.
First, your feet are dipped into a soak
of your favorite ice cream flavor. Then
they are refreshed with a sherbet scrub,
before being enveloped in your choice
of a chocolate, marshmallow or caramel
foot mask. A foot massage with body icing
infused with Shea butter and vitamins follows, creating the perfect topping to this
unique and fun pedicure. What a tasty treat
for your feet! To schedule a Sole Sundae
Pedicure or any of the Wintergarden Spa’s
delicious treatments, call 434-325-8562.
Ultimate Indulgence
About 6 a.m., the trails are ready for inspection by
Roberts and others on staff, as well as the Ski Patrol,
who head out on their snowmobiles to ensure that
everything is ready and safe. “Two hours before the
mountain opens, we look at the product and determine
if additional snow is needed, or if we need to do more
grooming to make the trails look great,” Roberts said.
“We have to make sure that when the curtain goes up,
we are ready for showtime.”
All the work has been done “backstage” over night.
As the sun rises, the first of the day’s skiers and snowboarders are in the parking lot, unloading their gear.
They can’t wait to be the first ones on the trails. There
might even be a few who were up all night, thinking
about the snow.
If you are looking for a well deserved break for you or a loved one The
Wintergarden Spa’s Ultimate Indulgence package is the solution. Whether
enjoyed together or as a gift this most wonderful experience will be
remembered for years to come. The Ultimate Indulgence includes:
While Wintergreen celebrates its natural snowfall, the resort is also home
to one of the world’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems.
• Your preferred lodging
• 90 minute LaStone Massage
• 60 minute Lavender Crush Body Scrub
• 90 minute Signature Facial
• Caviar Pedicure
• $50 Spa retail merchandise voucher

Lookout Below!
Because Anyone Can Slide
At Wintergreen, winter is more than skiing and snowboarding.
We’re the most popular resort in the region because, in
addition to great skiing and boarding, guests enjoy a myriad
of activities including sliding on our two tubing parks: The
Plunge! and The Slide.
Out of Bounds
�Under-Cover�
If you recently visited Wintergreen, you may have noticed something new
at our Out of Bounds outdoor adventure center, Discovery Ridge. While at
first glance it may appear to have been a giant mint kiss, a meringue cookie or
even an onion dome…it is actually our newest family recreation amenity….
The Dome at Out of Bounds.
If keeping the children busy is an important part of your Blue Ridge
escape, you’ll want to become very familiar with The Dome. And why not?
The 5,400 square-foot space houses our inflatable playground, Bullwinkle
the mechanical bull, a collection of arcade games and as much indoor fun
as we can pack in. The Dome will also be the place to catch a movie on a
gianormous inflatable screen. Just bring a blanket and pillow…we’ll provide
the popcorn!
The Plunge! is Virginia’s largest tubing park. Imagine being atop
a ten-story building and gazing over a hill that’s longer than three
football fields. Now imagine racing downhill on a tube at speeds
reaching 30 mph. That’s The Plunge!... thrills and chills without the
spills. Then to make the experience more enjoyable, a conveyor lift
will bring you and your tube comfortably and quickly back up
the hill so you can do it again…and again. Many sliders call it the
“scream machine” and you’ll agree! It’s just plain tubular fun.
Inclement weather? Who cares! Having a temperature controlled environment
means you will enjoy The Dome all year around…rain, snow or sunshine,
because it’s a completely temperature controlled environment. So stop in this
winter and join in the fun…your entire family will be glad you did.
www.wintergreenresort.com
For a gentler ride, families with small children will find all the
excitement they need on The Slide. Open on weekends and
holidays, this family-friendly setting offers one hour sessions for
only $10 per person…just long enough to work up some red
cheeks and the need for some warming hot chocolate.
Why not take us up on our special Guaranteed Learn to Ski & Ride
offer for tubers? As an added value, tubers can take a 75 minute
ski lesson, equipment rental and beginner area lift access for just
$15. There’s no better deal in the entire eastern United States.
So remember, while Wintergreen Resort may be best known for
great skiing and snowboarding, the screams of excitement you
hear may be coming from our famous tubing parks. Because
after all, anyone can slide!
Tubing is the perfect party venue and
with groups of 20 or more, you’ll save!
Call 434-325-8165
For a day of ultimate children’s fun, combine Out of
Bounds with the excitement of tubing.

Sweets for the Sweet...
To many, the holiday season is the time to
get out the flour, sugar and sweet spices.
Wintergreen associates recently held a dessert
recipe contest and we’re happy to share the
winning submission recipe with you.
Eggno
g Mo
Introducing Betsy Dunkerton’s
“Eggnog Mousse with Krumkaka
cookies!” Betsy advises that the
key to both these recipes is fresh
spices, with “freshly grated nutmeg and ground cardamom
making all the difference.”
Eggnog Mousse: “This recipe
is from a friend of my mother’s
and we would serve it over the
holidays. The sweet spices speak
to the holiday and fluffy mousse reminds me of snow. If Santa was lucky
that year, he had a plateful waiting for him on
Christmas Eve!”
The challenge to this recipe is to make sure
that the custard is cooked enough to be thick,
but not so much that it curdles. Then, it needs
to be cooled - but not set. If the custard sets
up hard, you’ll have little lumps of custard
that won’t mix into the cream and egg whites.
You want to have a perfectly smooth texture
that just melts in your mouth.
Krumkaka: “My Aunt Joanne married a
Norwegian and discovered cardamom, a
favorite Scandinavian spice. This recipe highlights the cardamom, but to make it extra special,
use freshly ground cardamom. The difference
is remarkable.”
We know this dessert will make your holiday
tastier. Enjoy!

Q:
This is my year to learn to snowboard. I’m 42
years old and my kids are 12 and 15. Any ideas?
Q:
HELP! I have a four-year-old daughter
who wants to learn to ski but I’m concerned
that an all-day program might be too much.
What do you suggest?
Q&
A
Here are some of the frequently
asked questions (and answers!)
that may help you plan your winter
season trip to Wintergreen Resort.
A:
We recommend The Treehouse for your
child. Mogul Monkeys, created for children ages
4-12, offers a full day of ski lessons and indoor
camp activities. The Treehouse provides a safe
A:
Wintergreen’s Guaranteed Learn to Ski or Snowboard is your best choice. GLS is a three visit program
that includes beginner area lift access, lesson and
rental equipment. Following your initial lesson, you will
be issued a picture ID preloaded with two future visits
to Wintergreen at a significant discount. We know you’ll
agree, GLS is the best deal in the area.
contact us at [email protected] or

Q: We have planned a family ski trip – ages
14 to 65. What other activities, in addition to
snowsports, are available during the winter
season?
learning area with a dedicated staff. The addition
of our new conveyor lift makes getting up the
slope easy as pie!
A:
Ski & Tee – As you may have seen on The
Weather Channel, the 3,000 foot difference in
elevation between the ski area and the valley,
home of the Stoney Creek Golf Course, provides
a temperature difference that often reaches 20
degrees. So start your morning making a few
ski runs and then head down the mountain in
the afternoon for some golf. Simply present your
same day lift ticket and your green fees are on us!
Ski and tee on the same day for the price of a lift
ticket – only at Wintergreen.
Also consider Mountain Mornings, a 5-week
program offered on Wednesdays. Children
ages 3-6 enjoy activities including progressive
ski lessons. In the meantime, you can ski for free
or even visit the Wintergarden Spa with a friend.
Q: I can’t keep up with my 12 year old – he’s
a much more advanced skier than me. What
are my options when we visit this winter?
Tuckahoe #8
A: Three options come to mind:
Out of Bounds – New this year, Out of Bounds
is under-cover offering fun even in inclement
weather. See the story on page 8 for a full
description of activities.
1.) Mountain Explorers is for kids ages 7-14. Fullday or half-day lessons are available and classes
are grouped by ability.
2.) Also consider Ski Buddy - a skiing or snowboarding companion for your child. Your “buddy”
will be with your child all over the slopes for two
hours of fun!
3.) The Blue Ridge Club may also be a solution.
It’s a five-week program that is also divided
into different ability groups and ages. The Club
provides the opportunity to improve both of your
skills over the season.
Should you have additional questions, please
Interior of The Wintergarden Spa
The resort also offers indoor tennis at the Devils
Knob Tennis Center. The Aquatics & Fitness
Center features an indoor pool, hot tubs, sauna
and steam rooms and a fully equipped fitness
center. Of course, the renowned Wintergarden
Spa is a four season favorite of our guests. The
treatments will leave you feeling relaxed and
refreshed after a day on the slopes. We also
highly recommend a visit to the Wintergreen
Nature Foundation. They can suggest winter
hikes that suit your level. You’ll be amazed at the
crystal clear panoramas that have opened up
during this season.

Family Memories
MEMBER PROFILE
The bride arrives in style.
Depending on the season, their guests may head for the
slopes, the spa, the hiking trails or grab their gear to go
rock climbing, rappel down a cliff or play golf. Some have
a favorite combination of things; others like to try it all. And
with 11,000 acres at Wintergreen Resort, there is plenty of
room to relax.
Ed and Janie understand the variety of interests, and the
respective enthusiasm for each. Their combined family —
Ed has two daughters, Janie has a daughter and a son — has
thrived at Wintergreen, where the most treasured activities
are right outside the door.
The bride, too, was a vision, arriving at the ceremony in a
black carriage drawn by a matched pair of white horses. A
classical guitarist provided the perfect accompaniment. The
reception was nearby in the ballroom of the Mountain Inn.
Every detail of the extraordinary event was orchestrated by
Wintergreen Resort’s Catherine Pearce.
It all came together beautifully. From accommodating 100
guests in condos and homes to planning the ceremony and
reception, working with Wintergreen made a monumental
task manageable.
As Ed and Janie know from nearly 20 years of sharing
Wintergreen Resort with their family and friends, getting
everyone together for one event can be a challenge, but it was
worth it for a day they will never forget.
In September, the entire family and close friends gathered at
Wintergreen from points near and far. For once, the group
didn’t immediately scatter. This one time, they shared a single
priority for an outdoor activity: the wedding of Janie’s daughter,
Jennifer, at the Blue Ridge Overlook.
“It is absolutely gorgeous, a perfect place to have a wedding,”
Janie said. “It meant a lot to her to have her wedding outdoors. And up there, all the views are amazing, any time of
the day.”

cheduling the arrival of friends and family is
never a problem for Ed Hanna and Janie Wurzel.
However, once they arrive at Wintergreen Resort,
it’s hard to keep track of where they are going.
“Everyone fans out to enjoy their favorite things that
Wintergreen has to offer,” Ed explains. “It can be a pretty
eclectic group.”
The bride and her mother share a special moment.
“HOMEWORK”
When determining a meeting site for your smaller group, consider a
unique setting that’s sure to invigorate. While typical hotel meeting
rooms provide the basic essentials, only Wintergreen offers private
settings where 11,000 acres of pristine scenery, a private chef,
even a pool table and spacious outdoor decks can all be standard
ingredients of the “set-up.”
need to leave. Just step outside and be surrounded by the
ancient and awe-inspiring Blue Ridge Mountains while a chef
prepares a menu created specifically for your group. For a
special touch, consider “Team Cooking” or arrange for chair
massages administered on the deck by a member of our
renowned Wintergarden Spa staff.
At Wintergreen, you can select from more than 20 luxurious, fully
furnished privately owned homes that provide the environment
required to complete complex agendas, open minds and generate
new, meaningful ideas. And when its time for a break, there’s no
The possibilities are endless and limited only by your imagination.
