“Wintergreen has great facilities,” said Pacific Group spokesman Mark K. Fischer. “Between ski, golf, spa, tennis, and meeting space, Wintergreen is an active year round playground.” He added, “We hope to work with the management team at Wintergreen to maximize the customer experience through a combination of meticulous planning and operating enhancements and efficiencies. The people at Wintergreen are top notch, and we are delighted to be working with them on the possibilities for growth here.”

“I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years and I’ve known the leadership of Pacific Group Resorts for over 20 years,” said Hank Thiess, general manager of Wintergreen. “They have tons of experience in this industry at some of the most iconic resorts in the West. My management team and I are excited for the possibilities this partnership could bring to our members and guests.”

Pacific Group also owns Ragged Mountain, N.H., and worked in concert with EPR to acquire Wisp Resort in Western Maryland in 2012.

EPR purchased Wintergreen from James C. Justice, who had acquired the resort in the summer of 2012, and had injected capital into the property to make improvements and to stabilize the operations.
