9 Ski & Snowboard Areas in Virginia That You Shouldn't Miss
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

A mountain in the Massanutten Range noted for winter skiing, hiking and mountain biking.

For Civil War buffs who study Stonewall Jackson's epic campaign in the Shenandoah Valley in the early days of the conflict and Philip Sheridan's efforts to lay waste the Breadbasket of the Confederacy in the closing months, the site of Massanutten Mountain in Virginia recalls a lot of memories. It is a synclinal ridge in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, a mountain whose highest peak is 2,922 feet tall and stretches from Strasburg in the north to Harrisonburg in the south. Massanutten bisects the Shenandoah Valley and is divided into northern and southern sections by the New Market Gap. On the eastern side of the mountain range lie the Page Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the western side lie the North-Central Shenandoah Valley and the Great North Mountain of the Alleghany Mountains. Most of the range is part of the Lee Ranger District of the George Washington National Forest and contains the Elizabeth Furnace and Camp Roosevelt recreational areas. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club maintains the Massanutten Trail as well as several other hiking trails in the forest. Signal Knob, a former Civil War signal station on the northern peak of the mountain, overlooking Strasburg, is a popular tourist destination and was a strategic outpost for Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War. In 1971, the Massanutten Mountain ski lodge and four-season resort village was established near the southern peak. The private resort has nearly doubled in size since Great Eastern Resorts purchased the property in 1995. Wildlife on Massanutten is plentiful with black bear, coyotes, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, timber rattlesnakes and luna moths. There also is significant flora and fauna.

The pool and workout room are great too. Location is close in regards to Washington Dc./ Baltimore, Md. The best kept secret to visit.
7. Homestead Ski Area

The Homestead definitely has an old-school vibe to it: the base lodge is reminiscent of a 1960's or 1970's facility, which I find appealing in its own way. The staff is friendly. Most of the skiers tend to be families, so you are seeking a laid-back day on the slopes or want to learn to ski, it fits the bill nicely. The main slope is ideal for working on technique, and crowds aren't really a problem even on weekends. Most skiers bail off of the double-chair at the midstation for an easy run to the bottom, so if you are able to ski steeper intermediate terrain you will have the top half almost to yourself. The main slope, steeper on the top half and less so on the bottom half, is long, wide, and gently rolling: great for working on turns! Grooming is typically very good here. Food at the base lodge is fairly pricey, but a grade above the standard base lodge fare. This isn't the place for an adventurous destination ski trip, but it's perfect if you just want to spend an easy day cruising the slopes.
