Wintergreen Resort ends ski season early due to unusually warm temperatures in February

Unusually warm temperatures forced Wintergreen Resort to end to ski season earlier than usual

WINTERGREEN, Virginia. — Wintergreen Resort is ending its ski season this weekend because it has been unusually warm for a few weeks in February.

This week, the temperature at Norfolk International Airport reached 81°, which beat the old record of 79° set in 1975 for the warmest February 23.

The resort said, “Despite our best efforts to keep the ski season going by making snow whenever we could, we’ve made the hard decision to end the 2022-23 winter season this Sunday, February 26 at 5:00 p.m.”

In December, the next ski season will start.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
