Cold day, about 21 for the high with 10-15 mpg winds. Cloudy with snow in the afternoon. Snow making all day.
It was busy as a heck in the locker room building, there must have been a lot of schools out.
Pretty much everything was open except Outer Limits and Devil's Elbow.

Haven't been there in a few years. But this picture is nice enough to make me want to go....

It's been 3 years since I have been to WG and I used to go a few times each year. Thanks for the TR. Were the steeper runs icy with an overlay of new snow or were they pretty smooth?
It's possible I may be there monday w/ some friends although we will probably be at Beech. either way, I'm really glad to see Wintergreen hitting 100% again

Lower Cliffhanger had some ice. Upper Cliffhanger and the Turkey Chutes were pretty much ice free. Big Acorn had some ice in the steeper portions.
Wintergreen's snowmaking is spectacular this year. The new 5 million gallon holding tank is just below Big Acorn...pretty neat of a structure.

That's one ski area in the south I'd like to ski but haven't been there yet!

I recommend it, especially when the Highlands are nearly or completely open. As you can probably tell from my signature, it's my go to resort from here in Raleigh.
