Wisp ski area, Maryland - Skiing and Snowboarding

Wisp ski area, Maryland

The facilities at Wisp are I think pretty good. I like the more isolated side runs the best. says Joseph.

I love Wisp, it's my favorite ski area in the region. It's got great runs and a good lift system. I like the atmosphere of the place, it always feels good to come here for a day of skiing. says Ron.

The 610 foot drop from top to bottom is unsurprisingly not that much to brag about, but all the other tremendous features of Wisp make up for it. The annual snowfall is roughly average at Wisp. This ski

    mountain has 22 runs, and they are tremendous. This is an average size ski hill in possession of an elevation difference that's something like average when you compare it to other ski resorts in the region. There's 100 acres of skiable area, and it's all in pleasant
condition. Wisp has a much lower than average share of tough runs and a much higher than average proportion of beginner and intermediate slopes. Wisp is a family friendly ski mountain with loads of beginner and intermediate runs. No other ski resort for 25 miles has a higher height difference. This ski area has a fairly humble assortment of slopes and a good selection of ski lifts. The 8 feet of snow that falls here per year keeps the slopes well blanketed through the ski season. You could be into skiing or snowboarding,

or both, doesn't matter, in this general neighborhood, you'll find scores of ski mountains. The 11 different ski lifts here are competently looked after and managed by friendly people. The snowboarding and the skiing in Maryland is a great thing to do the whole ski season. Lots of skiers from Somerset like to ski here. There's a ski run map of Wisp on this net page for your reference. No need to search hard for hotels, but you'd better book in advance of a trip in view of the fact that these hotels fill up quickly. A little exercise and spending some quality time in the wilderness have ski people coming here.
