They were instructed to go on up to the parkway for a good view. They preceeded up and joined many others in an open area to await the show. When the show started, the fireworks could not be seen from this vantage point, and the disappointed crowd dispersed. All this after one of my daughters had called Wintergreen to make sure non member/residents could go up the mountain to watch. I'd like to hear an explanation on how Wintergreen determines when there are too many cars/people in the resort and, for next year, how early one must get there to secure admittance to the fireworks.
