Winter break is a time to relax, celebrate the holidays, and have fun with the winter climate. “Having fun” does not include driving dangerously on slick roads and shoveling out your family’s driveway, but it can include checking out the area’s top skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing resorts. Here is a list of the best places to go, their rates, and how far away they are.
In Maryland:
WISP RESORT
“With a world renowned energy-efficient snowmaking system and over 100 inches of annual snowfall in Garrett County, Wisp’s 132 acres of ski terrain provide snowsport enthusiasts an incredible winter playground. Non-skiers and boarders won’t be left out; in fact, they’ll have as much trouble deciding what to do next with all that Wisp Resort and the Deep Creek Lake area have to offer: mountain coaster, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, fly fishing and more.” – www.wispresort.com
