Best Place to Ski: Wintergreen Resort

Wintergreen Resort
OF COURSE, the 26 trails and state-of-the-art snow-making keep the people on the slopes stoked. But this Blue Ridge resort gets bonus points for apres ski superiority.

When you're done with downhill, you can relax at the spa, play a round of golf or take advantage of indoor tennis courts. And nothing warms you up quite like a visit to the nearby wineries and breweries.

Zip Time: Visitors this winter (the season starts around Dec. 12) can take advantage of the newest attraction: a zip line that'll reach speeds of 40 mph.

» 1 State Route 664, Wintergreen; 434-325-2200.
