| 12 November 2009
Wintergreen, VA - Dispense with the anxiety, shelve the trepidation. Wintergreen Resort, located high atop Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, has a guarantee for first-time skiers and snowboarders this winter season: take a lesson with its professional teaching staff and you'll be turning and stopping when it's all over. If not, the next lesson is on the resort.
Designed for first-timers (ages six and older for skiers, eight and older for snowboarders), the “Guaranteed Learn to Ski & Ride” daytime program starts at $64 for adults and $54 for youths (midweek rates) and include a limited area lift ticket, lesson and rental package. Upon completion of the first lesson, guests will be issued a Guaranteed Learn to Ski & Ride card that enables them to return two more times for $59, which again includes limited area lift ticket and rentals, plus the next level of lesson. Weekend rates for adults are $77; youths are $62. Rates vary during the holiday seasons.
Lesson times on a daily basis are 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Night programs for beginners also are offered at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, and are priced at $50 for adults and are $40 for youths.
If a guest completes all three progressive lessons, they are offered the option to purchase a season lift pass ($149/adult, $69/youth or student) and $49 rental pass for the remainder of the current ski and ride season, as well as a $100 credit toward the purchase of an equipment package at participating local retailers. Additionally, program participants who complete the lesson requirements will receive a $50 season pass discount on the 2010-11 ski and snowboard season.
