As a property owner, what discounts do I receive in the ski area?
Massanutten property owners (excluding RCI exchangers) receive a 20% discount on slope-use tickets and season passes (excluding the Special Value Pass). Property owners must show their valid property owner's ID at the ticket window to receive the discount. We also offer an activity Card which you can purchase at the Concierge Desk at check-in which gives you 50% off slope-use tickets (up to 6), 25% off rental equipment, and 25% off group lessons. The activity card is valid for one week during your stay. If you are planning on skiing/snowboarding for the entire week - this is a great deal.
What is considered holiday, weekend, and weekday?
Weekends are Saturdays and Sunday (except when they fall during our holiday* period). Monday through Friday (except when they fall during our holiday* period) is considered a weekday. However, December 26, 2009 through January 1, 2010, January 16-18, 2010, and February 13-15, 2010 are holidays.
There are two dates when our hours of operations differ. They are:
Christmas Eve 9am-4:30pm
Christmas Day 12:30 pm-8pm
Do I need to purchase a lift ticket (slope-use) if I am not going to use the lift?
Yes, everyone must have a valid slope use ticket on when they are on the slopes, even if you are only participating in a lesson in front of the lodge.
Can my child just play in the snow? Or, use their plastic sled in front of the lodge?
We do not allow children or adults without the proper slope-use ticket and equipment to sled or play in the snow on the slopes. Sledding is not allowed on any of our trails. However, when there is natural snowfall, Hopkins Park (by the Guard House) is a great location for your children to sled.
Can I ride the chairlift if I am not skiing/snowboarding? (Scenic ride)
We do not allow hikers/pedestrians to ride the chairlift during our winter operations. We do offer scenic chairlift rides in the spring, summer, and fall.
Can I use my own skis/snowboard at Massanutten?
Yes. Personal equipment is permitted on the slopes. However, all snowboards and skis must have metal edges to be on Massanutten slopes.
Can I ride the lift or ski/snowboard/tube at Massanutten with my child in a backpack/carrier?
Massanutten does not permit riding lifts or skiing, snowboarding, or snow tubing with child carriers of any kind.
Do you rent ski clothing (pants, jackets, hats, gloves, goggles)?
Massanutten does not offer rental clothing or accessories. The Massanutten General Store offers clothing and accessories you would need for a day on the slopes. We can also suggest the most appropriate clothing you may already own. It is recommended that you wear waterproof clothing when participating in snow activities. Sunglasses or goggles, hats, and gloves are also a necessity.
Yes. We offer group lessons, private lessons, and a children's program for most ages and ability levels. Children must be 7 years old or older to participate in a group lesson.
How many are in a group lesson?
Our target group size is 6-8 people per instructor. This can vary both ways due to the amount of business on any particular day.
What is the best age to start?
We have found that 4 years of age is a good time to start skiing programs and that 7 years of age is about right for snowboarding programs. For adults, any age is a good time to start either sport. Minimum age for a group lesson is 7.
When does the season start? And, when do you close for the season?
Our season typically begins in early December and runs through the middle of March.
Is rental equipment available?
Yes. Our rental shop has all the equipment you would need for skiing/ snowboarding available for rent. Rentals can be conveniently purchased when you purchase your slope-use ticket at the ticket windows.
We have helmet rentals available (adults and children) for $5 per session.
Do you offer group rates for skiing/snowboarding?
Yes. If you have a group of 20 or more skiers/snowboarders, Massanutten can offer you discounted rates on your slope-use tickets, rentals, and lessons. Advance reservations are necessary and space is limited.
Are skis allowed in the Terrain Park?
Massanutten allows skis in the CMB Terrain Park. However, Massanutten rental equipment is not allowed.
