Wintergreen Resort Sells To Current Managing Operator

Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia

BRL has been able to confirm that Wintergreen Resort has once again sold. Though this particular sale is more of an acquisition sale by the managing operator, Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. PGR has been the operator of the resort for the owners, EPR Properties since 2015.

Earlier Tuesday we learned of the sale and were able to confirm it this afternoon.

A statement on the PGRI website discusses what we were hearing.

“PACIFIC GROUP RESORTS, INC. PURCHASES WISP AND WINTERGREEN FROM EPR

Resort company now owns properties it had been operating under long term leases

PARK CITY, UTAH – Park City-based resort holding company Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. (PGRI) announced it has purchased Wisp Resort in Maryland and Wintergreen Resort in Virginia from a subsidiary of Kansas City-based real estate investment trust EPR Properties. PGRI has been operating Wisp since 2012 and Wintergreen since 2015 under long term leases.

PGRI now owns the real estate, lifts, and snowmaking systems at the resorts in addition to the operating equipment which it previously owned through its operating subsidiaries. Mark K. Fischer, Executive Vice-President and CFO of PGRI explained, “This is a very big step for us, and we appreciate EPR working through the process to make this a constructive path for both parties. The purchases will reduce our capital costs and allow us to invest more appropriately in the properties since we will own them instead of just leasing them. This financial restructuring is also good for our employee base because it opens up more possibilities with regard to what we can do to grow the company for the long term. As cliché as it sounds, we are very hopeful this will prove to be one of those win-win situations.”

ABOUT PACIFIC GROUP RESORTS
Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. is a geographically diversified international resort operating company based in Park City, Utah whose portfolio includes Wintergreen Resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Wisp Resort in the Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland, Ragged Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Mt. Washington Alpine Resort in the Beaufort Mountain Range on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and Powderhorn Mountain Resort on the Grand Mesa of western Colorado. Among the resorts, there are 4,000 acres of ski terrain, 81 holes of golf, lift served mountain biking, ZipTours, canopy tours, aerial challenge courses, five pools, water sports on two lakes, lodging accommodations for more than 3,000 people, more than 30 food outlets, and a full-service spa. For more information on PGRI, please visit www.pgri.us.”

Wintergreen has sold a couple of times in the last decade. In 2012 Jim Justice, now Governor Jim Justice of West Virginia, bought the resort as a questionable financial future loomed when membership infusions couldn’t keep it going. That purchase by Justice snatched the resort from near bankruptcy.

Three years later Justice sold the resort to EPR Properties in 2015 with PGRI as the operator.

The road to the financial difficulties of Wintergreen dates all the way back to 2013 and earlier when the resort lost a credit line needed for operations.

Central Virginia Blue Ridge
Sadly the time has come once again, that is if you like those carefree long summer days! I sure do!! Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. It officially ends at 2AM Sunday morning (November 7, 2021). But for those of us that turn in at a reasonable hour, it’s best to set your clock back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night.

Nelson / Roseland : Bryant’s Small Batch Announces Opening of Farm Brewery
The new Bryant’s Brewery logo. The official opening of the brewery is later this month.

Roseland/Bryant
Nelson County, VA

Bryant’s is formally announcing the opening of its Farm Brewery on November 20th 2021, located at 3224 E. Branch Loop in Roseland VA.

Bryant’s, the makers of the cult favorite, Unicorn Fuel Hard Cider, is expanding into brewing beer on its sprawling 380 acre farm with an opening date of November 20th. Jerry Thornton the owner and brewer completed the University of Richmond’s craft brewing program in 2019 and has dabbled in brewing prior to founding the Bryant’s Cider. 

“Adding beer to the mix will not only give our customers more options, it will allow us to attract and expose more people to our historic farm” says Thornton. “We have the most unique and authentic experience in Nelson County, with multiple spaces for friends and families to enjoy the day. Being on a working orchard farm, our “core” competency is hard cider, but sometimes you just want a beer” Thornton says. 

Bryant’s Brewing will be launching with two beers on November 20th. Roseland Wheat, a light hoppy American wheat beer made with sweet orange peel. Kala’s Brown Ale, a malty brown ale with a smooth finish. Additional taps will be rolling out in the weeks following including an Imperial Stout, a hazy DIPA, and a Galaxy Hop SMASH beer made with farm grown Hops.

Afton : CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON U.S. 250/ ROUTE 151 ROUNDABOUT

Afton : CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON U.S. 250/ ROUTE 151 ROUNDABOUT
Graphic via VDOT : The roundabout construction that will begin at the intersection of Route 250 & 151 in the coming days. This is what it will look like nearing completion in July 2022.

 

Route 250/151
Near the Nelson / Albemarle County Line
Afton, Virginia

From VDOT : Culpeper District

Construction activity will begin next week on a roundabout at the intersection of Route 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) and Route 151 (Critzer Shop Road). The project will improve safety and traffic flow at the busy intersection while managing vehicle speeds and correcting geometric deficiencies that have been identified as contributing factors in crashes at the intersection.

Traffic flow through the current “T” intersection is controlled by a traffic signal that was installed in 2017 as a temporary measure along with flashers to warn traffic to slow in advance of the intersection. The roundabout will improve safety since all traffic must slow to enter the roundabout. In a roundabout traffic on the approaches must yield to vehicles in the roundabout.

What the construction area will look like in the beginning stages of October 2021.

During construction traffic will be maintained through the project although drivers may encounter some lane closures with traffic controlled by flaggers. Work will be limited to Monday through Friday, so weekend traffic will not be affected by construction activities.

Information about the project is available on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s web site at: Albemarle Co. Design-Build Projects. That page also has a link to a graphic of the construction phases and lane alignments during each phase.

The speed limit on both U.S. 250 and Route 151 has been lowered to 25 miles per hour on the intersection approaches and through the work zone. Motorists should drive with extreme caution as they approach the construction project since workers may be near the travel lanes and slow-moving equipment and vehicles may enter or exit the travel lanes in the work zone.

The U.S. 250 / Route 151 roundabout project is one of six improvement projects in a $28.5 million design-build bundled contract with Curtis Contracting Inc., of West Point, Va. The U.S. 250 / Route 151 roundabout project will cost $4.8 million. The other projects include the interchange improvements at U.S. 29 and Interstate 64, Exit 118, improvements to the Fontaine Avenue exit from U.S. 29 north, and the Rio Mills connector road, all of which are substantially complete.

The diverging diamond interchange on U.S. 250 at I-64 Exit 124 is under construction, as is a roundabout at Route 20 (Stony Point Road) and Route 649 (Proffit Road) in northern Albemarle County. The contract completion date for all six projects is February 2023.

Current traffic conditions and other real-time travel information can be found on the 511 Virginia website, the free VDOT 511 mobile app or by calling 511 from any phone in Virginia. VDOT updates are also on Facebook and the district’s Twitter account, @VaDOTCulp.

Updated : 10:15 AM Roadway now open

As we always say, “Move your scorecard forward one space” as another semi has blocked most of Brents Mountain toward the gap on Route 151. It’s on the Nellysford side (north) that is blocked. As of 8:15 AM motorists tell us they can barely squeeze by with alternating traffic. Large trucks wouldn’t be able to get by from what we’re told.
