Wintergreen Ski Resort near Waynesboro, VA
Rode the blue/intermediate trail below the outdoor rec center as well as the black diamond section under the Acorn lift today (5 June 2020). Both were cleaned-up and in good shape, especially compared to last fall when it was clear the resort was no longer taking care of them. The blue trail looks freshly marked with signs denoting technical sections (mostly rock gardens) and the black trail has been enhanced with new ways to get around one or two blown-down trees. Worth riding if you're staying at or near the resort and don't have hours to spend trekking through Sherando or the GW Nat'l Forest. Hope you like extended climbs and lots of rocks.
Thank |Wintergreen's mountain bike trails are still in pretty good shape and are worth riding if you like technical terrain. The trails are singletrack that criss cross up and down the ski slopes and into the adjacent woods. The easiest loop is just below the Discovery Ridge Adventure Center and is well-marked. The black diamond trails are to skier's right near the Big Acorn lift and consist of steep and twisty singletrack with a drop or two mixed in. These trails are usually pretty slick in the morning, so best to let the sun dry them out before riding. Don't go if you're expecting well-maintained trails like you'd find at Fountainhead. Do go if you're looking for a challenge and like lots of technical climbing.
Thank |Not well marked trails, very short in length. The trails are definitely an afterthought.
