A new mid-slope facility is under construction at Virginia’s Wintergreen Resort, and when it opens, it will provide services such as food and beverages, a lift ticket/tubing ticket outlet, locker space, and restrooms.

The building is being constructed of “ample glass, stone and natural wood. With sweeping views of the mountains, it will have a cozy ‘lodge’ feeling,” explained Jeff Moore, Vice-President of Facilities for the resort.

Wintergreen will also unveil “The Slide,” a new tubing park designed to provide a more gental downhill experience for younger children and those preferring a calmer ride.

Wintergreen is also investing in a new, state-of-the-art snowmaking system that will automatically adjust the mixture of air to water for better snow.
