Wintergreen Resort is a four-season mountain retreat on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a "Mountain Top" resort in which all of the amenities are built on the peaks and ridges, rather than at the base like a traditional ski resort. ==The Resort== Wintergreen offers 45 holes of championship golf; seasonal skiing, snowboarding and The Plunge snowtubing is a 900 foot snow tubing hill which consists of 12 lanes; a Terrain Park with jibs and rails; an award-winning tennis program; a full-service, destination spa; of meeting and event space; lodging; and a variety of dining options. The resort rises from approximately 600 feet above sea level in the valley at Stoney Creek to an elevation of close to 4,000 feet on the mountain, and hosts 300 villa-style condominiums and rental homes, from studio suites to seven-bedroom homes. Due to its elevation, the resort has a very seasonal climate, with mountain cool temperatures and low humidity in spring and summer. Summer temperatures rarely exceed 82 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Colder temperatures in winter, combined with the mountain elevation, allow for various winter sports December through March. During the winter, there are 32 trails available for skiing and snowboarding, 14 of the trails are available for night skiing/snowboarding. There are 5 chair lifts; 2 High Speed 6-person lifts, one quad lift, one triple and one double. The resort has 100% snow making capability . There are three main areas to ski, and the three pertain to the three main difficulties that Wintergreen offers. The Highlands (black and double black diamonds), A-Side (A standing for acorn, which has two blue squares and two black diamonds), and Dobie side (beginner). On A-side, if you go on "Acorn Lift", you may see young ski racers doing a course. "Big Acorn" is one of the two black diamonds on this side of Wintergreen, and Sunrise is the other. On Dobie's side, there are three lifts. If you go right on the main lift, you will go down "Diamond Hill", there are freestyle jumps and rails here. If you go right, there will be "Dobie". This the perfect slope for warming up in the morning, or learning how to ski or snowboard. If you ski past Checkerberry (a small snack place to stop and relax after a few runs, right next to Blue Ridge Express lift), and go down the path to the right, you have arrived at the "Highlands". All slopes beyond this point are black and double black diamond, so please only attempt if you are a skilled skier or snowboarder. Go straight across (after looking uphill, as there will be skiers and snowboarders coming down) to go to "Lower Turkey". Once you go up "Highlands Lift", take a left to go down "Wild Turkey" and this will take you straight down Turkey, through Lower Turkey as well. If you do not want to go down Turkey, go down the hill (there will be a path) under the lift to go to a double black diamond slope called "Cliffhanger". Once you get down Cliffhanger, you will ski down to Checkerberry. Once here, you can turn right to go back to Dobie, go straight to "Lower-Cliffhanger", or go right down to "Devil's Elbow". As confusing as this may sound, it's almost impossible to get lost at Wintergreen. If you don't know how to get back, the Wintergreen staff will be more than happy to tell you how to get back. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wintergreen Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
