Roseland
Nelson County, Virginia
Friday night Jan Smith played her tunes live at The Java Depot in Roseland (really closer to Beech Grove if you know the area). Jan is originally from the Louisville area. Over the past several years she’s been bringing her sounds to folks all up and down the East Coast and thankfully, right here in Nelson!

“Jan Smith’s deceptively simple tunes sparkle with freshness and originality,” said Performing Songwriter magazine.

Jan is just one of many artists that play at The Java Depot on Friday nights.

Most people think of Java Depot only for breakfast and lunch, but on Friday’s they open for a light dinner, and live music.

Wintergreen Resort

It’s finally here! The start of the 2009-2010 ski season in Nelson County, Virginia officially starts today. Wintergreen Resort opens some of its slopes Saturday morning at 9AM.

A 6-8″ snow several days ago, along with very cold temps in the mountains have set the stage for a good start to the season.

A soft opening was held Friday while crews checked everything out, but it’s off into the season today!

For the latest slope conditions at the resort follow our link here.

And for the latest custom forecast for both the mountains and valley here in Nelson, check out Tommy’s Audio Weather Report here.
