Where better to shred into the new year than where the powder is fresh and well groomed? Look to the Shenandoah Valley’s largest ski resort: Massanutten Resort in McGaheysville for an exhilarating winter weekend.
The snow-going is so hot advanced tickets are recommended to ensure an optimal experience. Why? Let us count the ways.
1. Double Black Diamond
No Hessitation is a new gem in Massanutten’s crown AND its most difficult trail. Count yourself among the first to rip through this sick run.
Aside from the toughest trail in the resort, Massanutten offers 83 skiable areas via 23 runs and 7 lifts. Ski all day or in 4- or 8-hour segments. Love the nightlife? Ski at night, too! Bring your own board and skis or rent equipment onsite.

2. Snow Tubing
Some of the best family entertainment is found atop a multi-seater tube slip-sliding its way down the slopes in the dark … with party lights. It will be a fantastic memory, so stay in the moment as long as you can.
3. Indoor Waterpark
Swimming in winter? You bet! It’s a constant 84 degrees inside Massanutten WaterPark and the slides aren’t going to ride themselves.
4. The Rink
Hold hands and glide across the ice in an old fashioned, romantic way. Or, go ahead and stunt with the Johnny Weir spider lunge you’ve been working on.
5. Light Up the Park is STILL Lit
With such short days, why take all the pretty lights away? Well, they aren’t. Not quite yet, anyway. Enjoy Light Up the Park through January 14.

6. Packages Aplenty
Stretch the dollars, stretch the stay when you book a package that includes all the fun and comfortable accommodations, too.
7. Cool Events
More than live entertainment on a Saturday night (though that’s on the calendar, too), Massanutten Resort hosts festivals year ’round. In winter you can check out Heart & Soul Winter Fest January 4-8 and Snow Moon Fest March 1-3.
If you love a good festival, score a sweet discount on them when you pre-purchase before January 14.
8. Winter Golf
Yes, you read that right. Winter golf at a ski resort is a thing. Enter Perfect Break: home to two Topgolf Swing Suites.
9. 6,000 Acres of Play
Massanutten Resort is open in every season and offers activities unique to each. Golfing, mountain biking, music festivals, escape rooms, curling, spa …
