Ride the Slopes or the Waves at Massanutten Resort

The Shenandoah Valley, with its beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is the perfect place for a winter getaway.

While the snow beckons those who enjoy skiing, tubing or snowboarding, those who would rather exchange their ski jackets for swimsuits will also find a wild ride at the four-season Massanutten Resort near Harrisonburg, Va.

For the winter sports enthusiasts, Massanutten has seven lifts, 1,110 feet of vertical drop and two terrain parks, as well as the Peaked Mountain Express Tube Park with its 900-foot-long hill. It has 14 ski trails, which are also lit for night skiing.

Massanutten's terrain parks continue to be the best with more rails and other challenging features for your park riding experience. The parks' staff grooms, hand shapes, and changes the layout of both parks daily.

The CMB Terrain Park features its own lift and is open to snow boards, Snowblades and skis. Easy Street is located on skier's right on Geronimo. Accessible by riding the Geronimo Lift #3, Easy Street uses smaller features, catering to the learning process of novices.

Want to shed the coats and scarves? Visit the indoor portion of Massanutten WaterPark, which is open year-round and is always 84 degrees. The waterpark features surfing in "The Pipeline," Virginia’s first and biggest FlowRider, body slides and tube slides. Or you can let the current take you away in the Blue Ridge Rapids.

After a day on the slopes, the Shenandoah Hot Springs, a family-friendly hot tub, is sure to entice you! The Massanutten Melt Down is the central feature of the Indoor WaterPark has a bit of everything—from water cannons to water falls, and don't forget the giant tipping bucket!

For those who want to indulge yourself from head to toe with massages, body treatments, facials and nail care, a visit the Spa at Massanutten is sure to rejuvenate you on a cold winter’s day.
