Final announcements will be made April 23, although organizers are already
promising performance areas, interactive workshops, performance arts, healthy cuisine options,
bicycle jousting, mud wrestling tournaments, hikes, waterfalls and vacation rentals.
Ski
lifts will be available for guests to summit the mountain for yoga and meditation workshops or
simply to watch the sunset fill a 100-mile view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Visitors can
choose from a variety of vacation rentals, including private cabins, chalets and houses, many of
which are within walking distance of the resort. Prices are as low as $20 per person, per night when
booking with friends, although visitors may upgrade to a slopeside rental to watch the event from
the porch or even a private cabin with a hot tub.
