Colin Lynch is headed to the USA Snowboarding National Championships

Colin Lynch, a freshman honors student at Southern High School, is headed to the USA Snowboarding National Championships at Copper Mountain, Colo., April 1-10. With nearly 2,000 competitors, the championship is the largest snowboarding and freeskiing competition in the world. Every U.S. Olympic Team athlete got a start in the United States Snowboarding Association (USASA).

Lynch is currently ranked fourth overall in the nation in his age group (the largest age group in the competition). Additionally, he is one of only six youths who have qualified for and been invited to compete in all five disciplines: giant slalom, slalom, boardercross, slopestyle, and halfpipe. To qualify, Lynch competed in 20 events during the regular season in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. This is his third appearance at the national competition, but the first time he has been invited to compete in all five events.

Lynch is a member of the Deep Creek Winter Sports Team and competes in the Appalachian region of USASA. He is sponsored locally by High Mountain Sports. His national sponsors are Nitro Snowboards and Bern Helmets. At Southern, Lynch is also a member of the boys’ soccer team and the boys’ track team.

Spring time at Wisp Ski Resort

: Wisp Ski Resort Deep Creek Lake

It’s that time of year…I’m starting to see some bare spots on the Wisp Ski Resort. Overall, it was a great ski season and a record winter for snowfall. Spring is here at Deep Creek Lake and the warmer weather (and rain) has led to some bare spots on the mountain. Virtually all of the snow that was here on the ground has melted now. It snowed yesterday, but there was no accumulation. Keep checking back for more info from the I Love Deep Creek blog!

My new office at Railey Realty

My first day at the new office was great. I had been there countless times before for paperwork, files, and meetings, but this time was a lot different. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. The office is huge and everyone was hard at work. I’ve got a good view of the ski slopes at Wisp from my desk, so I feel right at home. Thanks again to all of the agents and staff, especially Mike Kennedy and Nancy Trotta who made me feel right at home and gave me the ‘tour’!

Celebrating 31 years at Deep Creek Lake!

Celebrating my 31st year on Earth – and living in Garrett County, Maryland! Started with a few brews from Mountain State Brew Pub (Miner's Daughter stout…mmmm) and a Hawaiian flat bread (pizza) with some great friends prior to the show. Then it was a short trip over to the Wisp. The ski slopes were packed! We had a great time at the Comedy Blast at Wisp Ski Resort on Friday night. The comedians were hilarious and there were a lot of friends there to enjoy it with us. After the show, a group of us went to Boardwalk for a drink and some…karaoke! My good friend Rita Powell sang a few tunes, joined by my wife Jessica, Nancy Jo Fratz, and Autumn Newcomb. It's not quite karaoke night without a tune from Janice Spiker, who belted out an awesome version of Bobby McGee; and also Patty Chapman. Overall, great time. Typical freezing cold winter night at Deep Creek Lake! Wish you were here!

Snow Tubing on New Years Day at Wisp

We were entertaining some family over the holidays, and I wanted to share this picture. I took my daughter, Kayleah, and her cousin Tara (also pictured is her father, Jason, both from Damascus, MD) snow tubing on January 1st, 2010 at Wisp Ski Resort. The Bear Claw Tubing Park was packed and it was a beautiful snowy winter day. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. It’s fast and fun, and they serve snacks, hot chocolate and draft beer (Sam Adamas Winter Lager was great) to keep your spirits up! We also tried the mountain coaster, which was my first time in the snow. Definitely make sure to add these to your vacation list of things to do!

Wisp Ice Skating Rink

For the Cumberland Times-News
Cumberland Times-News

DEEP CREEK LAKE — Wisp Resort continues to expand its winter amenities to go beyond skiing and snowboarding. This winter an ice skating rink will be installed near the Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park to offer guests another family-friendly activity.

The 50- by 85-foot oval rink will operate by running cooling pipes under a floor that are powered by a 100-ton chiller to keep approximately two to three inches of water frozen. A mini-Zamboni® ice resurfacing machine will groom the surface daily for skaters. The Zamboni® was named after its inventor Frank J. Zamboni in California in 1953.

The ice skating rink at Wisp will feature benches for rest, hanging twinkle lights, a nearby bonfire area and warm beverages. It will be the only ice rink in Garrett County and has a tentative opening date of Dec. 19.

The rink will operate in conjunction with the Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park and Mountain Coaster hours of operation.
