Winter atBryce Res

ort


As fall gives way to winter, thecalls come in with increasingfrequency … “When do your

slopes open? Do you have snow yet?Can I make a group reservation forsnow tubing? When can I enroll mychildren in ski school...?” Whatmakes winter so different? There are a lot more people around all at oncerather than the steady flow during therest of the year. There are tons of kids running

around in ski boots (the thunderingherd), as well as piles of discarded,misplaced, or lost mittens, hats, socks(huh?) all over the lobby, restrooms,and restaurants. The personalities aredifferent, too. That’s why winter andski season is so much fun! VARIETY!Who comes to Bryce for winter

activities? Well, people of all agesfrom all over the tri-state area (DC,its not actually a state although they

would like to be…), MD, & VA andeven some from West Virginia, NorthCarolina and Pennsylvania). Theresort is well known as a very familyfriendly destination with lots to dothat is open to the public. The attrac-tion? Bryce is a four season resort –open 365 days a year. We never shutdown during “shoulder” seasons. As afour season resort there is somethinggoing on all year – one can play golfall year long if there is no naturalsnow. Just check for frost delays. Theunique thing about the resort is thatyou can ski, snowboard and tube inthe “back yard” and golf in the “frontyard” on the same day – weather per-mitting. Where else can you do that? Let’s begin with why the skiing and

snowboarding is so great for all levelsof aptitude. There are eight beautiful-ly groomed slopes – one-third ratedbeginner, one-third intermediate, and


one-third advanced. There is fullsnow coverage on the slopes becauseof the state-of-the-art snow guns.Snow-making is a science – yes, it isreal snow. The only difference is thatit blows from huge guns that loomover the slopes, rather than sound-lessly falling from the sky. It is beauti-ful to watch – snow is made duringthe late night/early morning hours.The slopes are lit and the snow blowsat an incredible rate for hours andhours. It is most beautiful at dawn.Bryce also inaugurated a new quad liftlast winter (for a total of 5 lifts) allow-ing lines to move faster and eliminate

log jams at the bottom of the slopes.The new lift can move upwards of1800 people per hour up the 500-footvertical rise.Skiers can hone their skills at our

nationally-known Horst Locher SkiSchool or enroll their children in theKinder School & Ride programs.These programs cater to children ages4 to 7 years of age. In Kinder Schoolchildren learn the basics of skiing.The Ride program teaches kids age 6-7 basic snowboarding skills. Both arehalf-day sessions taught by experi-enced instructors. Class size forKinder School ranges from 2 to 8

children per instructor. Ride classeshave a maximum size of 5 students.There are also skill improvementlessons for adult boarders and skiers,adult racing clinics, weekend moun-tain adventures with JuniorSuperstars, and of course, NASTARand Collegiate racing events – moreon that in the interview with DougGrayson – a tease to keep reading!If you are not a skier there is snow

tubing which anyone can perfect –sit in the tube and fly down our 800’tubing lanes. There are group dis-counts, so it is a perfect activity forChurch groups, school groups, or abunch of friends getting together forsome fun.After all the skiing and tubing no

doubt you are hungry. Bryce has sev-eral options – from the most casual tothe more formal. The Fireside Grill isthe most casual. Snow bunnies of anyage and gender can order various din-

ing selections from breakfast sand-wiches to burgers and dogs to pizza. Itis fun to grab a hot chocolate and sitby the indoor circular fire pit or snaga picnic table at the base of the slopesto watch the skiers and boarders. The

The Library at the Bryce Airport.

Copper Kettle Bar &Lounge offers a more com-prehensive menu, plus it hasa fully-stocked bar. Theatmosphere is warm andcozy; there is a huge fire-place, and the décor iseclectic – lots of antiqueposters, skis, snowshoes,game boards, skates – justlook up toward the ceilingand at the walls. Both theFireside Grill and CopperKettle are open seven days aweek. No reservations taken– you may have to wait for a table fora few minutes. The main diningroom – The Restaurant @ Bryce iscasually elegant – linens and votiveson the tables, gorgeous fireplaceand a view that will stop traffic. Askfor a table at the windows andwatch night skiing. The Restaurantis open Friday and Saturdayevenings and Sunday Brunch isserved (only during ski season) –reservations are a must during skiseason.What don’t we have? A hotel.

That does not mean that therearen’t accommodations. There areseveral hotels within 20-30 minutesof the resort and local real estatecompanies that have privatehomes, chalets, townhouses, andcondos in a rental pool. Severaltimeshare companies work withlocal management companies thatoversee their accommodations aswell. For more information about

An Interview with DougGrayson, Marketing Directorand Race Manager at Bryce

Resort.

When did you firstbecome acquainted withBryce Resort and how?I started working for Bryce Resort

as a ski instructor at 14 years old. Iworked part-time during my earlytwenties while running a ski shop inNorthern Virginia. Eight years ago, Ireturned to Bryce full time as theCoordinator of Winter Children’sPrograms and started working inRace Operations under Bill Nimmo.When Bill retired, I was promoted toRace Manager and I have been run-ning races for Bryce ever since. This

past winter, I was also given a newrole as Director of Marketing forBryce Resort but I still plan on work-ing with the Race Department asmuch as possible!

Did you learn to ski atBryce?I grew up in Northern Virginia, so

the resort my parents took us to wasLiberty in Pennsylvania. I was threeand a half years old when I startedskiing but my parents took us to sev-eral different resorts throughout thearea as we (my brother and I) grewup. In my junior racing years, I racedat another resort, but my brotherraced for Bryce during his junior rac-ing years.


Doug Grayson on the race course at Bryce Resort.

Racing at Bryce Resort

Talk about the racing pro-grams, what they are,when they began.Racing has always been an integral

part of Bryce Resort. It is somethingthat we enjoy doing and the manage-ment enjoys promoting youth sportsand competition. We have a strongjunior racing program at Bryce thatincludes skill building, technique andutilizes many training drills and chal-lenges to encourage better skiingoverall which then translates intobetter skiing on the race course. Thecoaches work very hard to customizetheir coaching styles to each individ-

ual athlete, which includes designingprograms for all ages, as we have clin-ics and sessions for ages 6 – 80 here atBryce!

What do you do in yourcapacity as Race Manager?Most of my job at Bryce revolves

around the collection and processingof data and race information in thedays surrounding the event. I set upand organize the race computers andtiming equipment to make surethings go as smooth as possible onrace day. I have a lot of help on raceday. It generally takes a team of 10-20

people to pull off a great race event.At the conclusion of the event, wehave to get the results out as fast aspossible to award the winners andthen start to manage the paperworkso that all of the racers are properlyranked.

How many racers comethrough Bryce every year?The Bryce Race team has approxi-

mately 60-80 racers just on its own. Atypical junior race will have about100 racers. Junior racing is just part ofthe racing schedule for us though.

When we add organizations likeUSCSA (United States CollegiateSki & Snowboard Association,) theUSASA (the USA SnowboardAssociation,) and NASTAR (a stan-dardized race run every Saturday andSunday afternoon throughout theseason) the number of racers downthe Bootlegger slope numbers almost3000 people (x2 runs each, ofcourse)!

How do Bryce racing pro-grams compare with othersin the Mid-Atlantic region?


The Mid-Atlantic and Southeastregion are surprisingly strong and notwhat people would geographicallythink of when they hear the words“Snowsports Racing.” We competewell against other racers in the area.We also make sure that racing is a funactivity for all of our racers.

Have kids who have gonethrough the Bryce racingprograms gone on to morespecialized racing schools,programs?Many racers have moved on to

larger, racing-focused schools andtraining programs in theNortheastern and Western parts ofthe United States. Through our part-nerships with these academies, we areable to evaluate and help progress stu-dents that would like to pursue theircareer further. In addition, many col-leges and universities including JamesMadison University (which trains atBryce every Wednesday andThursday night throughout the sea-son, feel free to come and watch)have great Snowsports programs andcompete throughout January,February and March for a shot at aNational title.

How would you describethe difference betweenour racing programs andothers that compete in theMid-Atlantic and what setsours apart?At Bryce Resort, our goal is to

make every guest that comes to theresort have the best ski or snowboard-ing experience that the industry has

to offer.This men-tality car-ries over tothe racee x p e r i -e n c e .While wem a k ee v e r yeffort to becompeti-tive andengage thecompeti-tive spiritw i t h i neach racer,we understand that fun has to be atthe forefront for racers to want tocontinue with the sport.

If parents are interested inenrolling their kids in anyof the programs, how dothey go about it, and whatadvice would you givethem?The best way to see more about the

racing programs here at Bryce is tovisit our website at http://www.bryc-eresort.com/Winter/Racing.aspx. Ifyou need more information, feel freeto call us at 540-856-2121 ext. 229 orsend an e-mail to [email protected] and we can help you findthe program that fits best for you.Of course, NASTAR racing is

open to the public during every week-end and holiday, so anyone can comeand try it out. See you on the hill thiswinter!

The exhibition Becoming PatsyCline is the story of local girlVirginia "Ginny" Patterson

Hensley before she became musicicon Patsy Cline, the ShenandoahValley’s most globally recognized per-sonality and an American music leg-end.

The exhibit at the Museum of theShenandoah Valley has alreadyproven to be so popular that museumofficials recently announced it will beheld over until July 6, 2014.Acknowledged by many as the

most popular and influential femalecountry singer in recording history,Patsy Cline (1932–1963) was the firstfemale solo artist inducted into theCountry Music Hall of Fame. Despitea career that was cut short by her trag-ic death at the age of 30, Patsy Clinerecorded 102 songs and three, full-length albums. Her recordings havesold millions of copies worldwide; shehas a star on Hollywood Boulevardand her own stamp with the U.S.Postal Service. Patsy Cline also has

received numerous posthumous hon-ors and has been the subject of biogra-phies, musicals, plays, and a featurefilm. Fifty years after her death, thepopularity of her hit recordings, suchas “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,”“I Fall to Pieces,” and “SweetDreams,” endures today. Though Patsy Cline lived only 30

years, she spent most of her life in theShenandoah Valley. There shedreamed of becoming a professionalsinger and began to realize thatdream. Organized by the MSV inpartnership with Celebrating PatsyCline, Inc. (CPC), Becoming PatsyCline uses objects, rare photographs,video and audio recordings, andclothing -- much of which is on first-time public display -- to illustratePatsy Cline’s Shenandoah Valley sto-ry. The exhibition describes thesinger’s family history, examines herearly influences, and introduces thepeople whose support and guidancehelped Patsy realize her dream. According to MSV Executive

Patsy Cline Exhibition Extended atWinchester’s Museum of the

Shenandoah Valley

Director Dana Hand Evans, BecomingPatsy Cline is the most ambitiousexhibition the MSV has organized todate. Evans notes that the Museumhas wanted to tell Patsy Cline’sShenandoah Valley story since open-ing in 2005 and adds that the exhibi-tion has been three years in themaking. Becoming Patsy Cline is thefirst museum exhibition to focus pri-marily on the singer’s early years.Filling the MSV’s newly redesigned,2,600-square-foot ChangingExhibitions Gallery, it is also thelargest display about Patsy Cline everpresented in her hometown ofWinchester. Evans credits theMuseum’s partnership withWinchester-based CPC and the sup-port of Patsy Cline’s husband Charlie

Dick and their son and daughter,Randy Dick and Julie Fudge, as keyelements in making the groundbreak-ing exhibition possible. Evans alsonotes that the MSV received criticalunderwriting support for BecomingPatsy Cline from Grove’s WinchesterHarley–Davidson, ShenandoahCountry Q102, and WinchesterPrinters, Inc.The not-for-profit CPC organiza-

tion, which owns and operates thePatsy Cline Historic House inWinchester, has provided its exten-sive collection of artifacts for displayin Becoming Patsy Cline. In addition,members of the singer’s family haveloaned objects, clothing, and rarephotographs to the MSV for theexhibition.

Route 11 Potato Chips is one ofthe most well-known brandsin the Mid-Atlantic states and

Washington, DC markets, and can befound in Cracker Barrel restaurantsand at selected locations from coast-to-coast.

Route 11's state-of-the art plant inMount Jackson,Virginia invites foodconsumers of allstripes to visit, tastethe product, andlearn how potatochips are made."We like to showpeople how chipsare made. It’s rare tosee how somethingis made today," says

Sarah Cohen, one of the founders ofthe company.

Route 11 offers a Fry-Viewingexperience. It’s not a tour of thebuilding. Rather, through large glasswindows visitors can experience the

chip making process.Make sure you call ahead(540-477-9664) to ensureit’s a chip-producing day.This is especially importantfor tour groups travelingthrough the ShenandoahValley. The viewing is free,and there is free chip-tast-ing as well.

The Rt. 11 facility is lessthan 1/4 mile fromShenandoah Caverns and AmericanCelebration on Parade, and about a10 minute drive from Bryce Resort.

What makes Route 11 Chips spe-cial? “Every chipper has their own

recipe,” Sarah says. “Most chips areproduced in volume by large produc-ers. They often use the least expen-sive methods of production.” “Route11’s small size affords us an attentionto detail that you don’t get with massproducers. Our chips have charac-

ter.” Sarah’s love of food is the drivethat makes her want to produce agreat product.

“Our recipe is simple,”she says.“We use high quality ingredients andwe care about what we make and howwe make it”

Today Route 11 Chips consumesup to two tractor-trailer loads a weekof potatoes, about 100,000 pounds aweek. These result in some 25,000pounds of Rt. 11 Chips producedeach week, consisting of 8 different



flavors, including Lightly Salted,Barbecue, Dill Pickle, Salt &Vinegar, Chesapeake Crab, SourCream & Chive, Mama Zuma'sRevenge, and the seasonal SweetPotato and Tabard Farm Yukon Gold.

Despite the success of being innational restau-rant chains andselected grocerystores, it is thesmall mom andpop stores thatCohen says isthe backbone ofRoute 11 sales.

“Potato chipsare still thenumber onesnack food inthe USA. We

haven’t invented anything new,we’ve just turned the clock back to asimpler and tastier time, and we’remaking chips the old fashioned way.”Visit the website at
