Winter Fun at Four Virginia Ski Resorts

When it comes to winter in Virginia, most people want to hunker down by a warm fireplace and avoid the chilly weather at all costs. But here’s an even better idea – head to a Virginia winter sports resort to embrace the cold! These four resorts offer several winter sport options for every skill level, including skiing, snowboarding, and tubing, as well as spas, cozy luxury lodgings, and multiple on-site dining options.

Conveniently located just minutes from the Shenandoah National Park & Skyline Drive and only two hours from our nation’s capital, Massanutten is the perfect place to call home as you explore the Shenandoah Valley and beyond. During the wintertime, don’t miss your chance to hit some of the best ski slopes in the state of Virginia or enjoy classic winter activities like ice skating and snow tubing. In addition to the slopes, the resort has an indoor water park, hiking trails on the property, and more.
