Holiday Week Q&A
Wintergreen and Nelson County expects a busy holiday week. Guests and visitors are already arriving in Nelson County. Be prepared for the busy week by reading my daily blog and by keeping an eye on the weather at www.NelsonCountyLife.com. Here are some answers to questions that I have received this week:
Q: Are there any lodging rentals open for New Year’s Eve in Wintergreen?
A: All of my client’s private rentals are booked for the holiday weekend. The last time I checked, Wintergreen did have some resort rentals available. You can book those rentals at www.WintergreenResort.com
Q: Where do we park to go skiing?
A: During the busy holiday week, arrive EARLY in the Mountain Village area. Arrive early, park in the lots below the Mountain Inn, and then go and purchase your gear rentals and/or lift tickets. Look for Wintergreen employees to point the direction to the next available parking lot. If the lots in front of the Mountain Inn are full, Wintergreen employees will direct you to other parking lots with shuttle service to the ski areas.
Q: Where can we get breakfast while waiting for the slopes to open?
A: In Wintergreen, stop by the Coppermine Bistro for a hot breakfast. They also have a breakfast buffet on the weekends. For muffins or breakfast snacks with coffee, stop by the General Store in the Mountain Inn at Wintergreen. As you are heading up to the resort, you can stop at the Java Depot in Beech Grove, open 7 days a week for breakfast.
Q: Will Wintergreen have some parties for New Year’s Eve?
A: Yes, the resort will host several parties for New Year’s Eve. I urge you to book a reservation now for those parties. Check out tomorrow’s blog for updates on New Year’s Activities.
Q: Where can I watch ESPN over the holiday week?
A: Many of the rental properties have ESPN. If you would like to visit a bar or restaurant, check out The Edge in the Wintergreen Mountain Village, Devil’s Backbone or Java Depot in Beech Grove.
I hope to see you in beautiful Nelson County soon…
