Hi, this is not toward Wintergreen, that would be left (south) as the camera is pointed. This is Buck's Elbow, and right of that mountain is the start of Suger Hollow. Winter green can be seen from this vantage pint when it's got snow, or at night when the lights are on. Good shot of a bleak Nov day.
Sara (who's glad to be shed of Nov anyway)
Yeah, you're right that Wintergreen is not in the picture, but that's why I chose my words carefully to say that Wintergreen was "in or near the distant background." You're right that Wintergreen is off to the left of this view. I just drove by there today hoping to see the snow guns or the lights of Wintergreen. No luck. But perhaps they'll be making some snow there tonight.
