Our Mission

To provide remarkable experiences in a safe and enjoyable environment.


Our History

On May 26, 1971, a press conference was held at Spotswood Country Club to announce the joint venture in the development of a new resort to be called Massanutten. By the summer of 1972, there were six slopes cleared. In 1973, the final touches were put on the outdoor swimming pool and two tennis courts in the Rockwood Park area of the Kettle. The ski area opened on February 10, 1973, after five nights of snowmaking. Today, Massanutten continues to thrive with a mixture of owners, overnight guests, groups, and daytrippers.
