 With cold weather upon us, many families are planning their family winter vacation. Luckily for those of us in Northern Virginia, we don’t have to look to far from home to find great destination spots to hit the slopes and enjoy the snow.
To help you decide which resort to visit, the Washington Post comes out with a yearly Ski Guide for the D.C. Metropolitan area. Click here to visit the Washington Post’s web page dedicated to the 2009-2010 ski season. You will find an interactive map that will tell you everything from the resorts traveling distance from Washington, link to resorts web site, average snow, prices, contact information, and more.
The Washington Post highlighted one ski resort in particular for the 2009-2010 ski season. Wintergreen Resort was named the Snowskiing Spot in the “Express Best of 2009” survey. The survey was taken by 20,000 people about the D.C. Metropolitan area’s best of the best and the people voted Wintergreen Ski Resort the best skiing destination in the area. Roughly 154 miles or 3 hours from D.C., Wintergreen can be a great winter weekend getaway. On weekends I'm not working with the Cook and Zook Team, I visit Wintergreen to enjoy the snow!
Wintergreen posted to its slope reports a weather outlook for the 2009-2010 ski season. Predictions by Commodity Weather Group, LLC show that the eastern part of the U.S. is going to have its coldest winter in the past decade. If these predictions are true, it should mean a great ski season for us in the Northern Virginia area. Happy skiing!
