Wisp Offers Good Mix of Terrain on Wooded Lakeside Mountain

by mrkstvns mrkstvns is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Oct 28 '99
Pros: mix of terrain, beautiful location
Cons: remoteness
Wisp is the only ski resort in Maryland, and just barely in Maryland at that. It's located on Deep Creek Lake, which is tucked up in the panhandle area of western Maryland, bordering on West Virginia and ...

Good place for casual skiing

by teamw23 , Mar 25 '09
Pros: Good for casual skiers, with lots of long-wide runs.  Good weekend destination for Pittsburgh/DC.
Cons: Expert runs too short for incredibly serious skiers.  Too far from Pittsburgh/DC for day-skiing
I am a very casual, recreational skier.  Not a hardcore speed and adreneline junky.  I just want to get out there and have a little fun and get some exercise.  Wisp is a good choice for somebody like me. It is also a good ...

Quaint and Down to earth

by Foste , Mar 21 '00
Pros: Nice skiing nice people
Cons: Not for the truly insane but still fun
If you are looking for a thrill this is not the place to go. Though the slopes are not too challenging, they are still a lot of fun. Coming from the lodge in the front are the two hardest slopes. Unfortunately they are very short and the wait for the ski...

Learning to ski?

by avirden , Dec 28 '99
Pros: A wide range of slopes
Cons: Remoteness
mrkstvns is completely accurate in his description of Wisp Resort. I was surprised at how well his opinion was written. (Write like a reporter.) He forgot to mention my favorite reason for returning to Wisp. It's beginner slope. I've been to four...

Good Local Slope

by UCanTrustMe , Feb 12 '00
Pros: Good Terrain Variety, Snowboard Park
Cons: Old, Slow Lifts, Back Side Often Closed
Being a resident of the Mid-Atlantic, my access to GOOD skiing/snowboarding is very limited. So, I usually spend the winter trying to save enough money to make a trip up to Vermont, or out to Colorado. However, in the meantime, I usually spend a...

Wispy Mountain Hop (Think Zeppelin)

by joshuaresnick , Jan 16 '00
Pros: beautiful area with wonderful surroundings
Cons: not much night-life
Deep Creek Lake, Maryland is a beautiful area. However, it's not Telluride. If you are a die hard skier who won't even touch a single black diamond and only skis the most challenging slope of the hill, than don't come to Wisp. For a family who goes...

Wisp - Pretty Nice, but there are better alternatives

by brad1967 , Feb 11 '03
Pros: Beautiful area. COLD, SNOWY.
Cons: Not a place for beginners. Sort of outdated.
We went to Wisp on Jan 30 to Feb 1 - a short "winter vacation". My wife (36) had skied once before, a long time ago. My 2 kids and I had never skied before, so this was a new experience for us.

We live in the eastern panhandle of WV, but...

Good time to be had by friends and family!

by hchang , Jul 30 '01
Pros: Fun for family
Cons: Short trails
WISP is a fun trip for friends and family. It's a good safe place to learn how to ski, to learn how to mogul, and to learn how to carve. It's setup for snowboarders with several half-pipes and mogul-y runs.

A thinner crowd and better prices...

Wisp, excellent facility in MD

by burningisis , Nov 28 '00
Pros: variety of trails
Cons: small resort
I regularly visit Wisp ski resort at least once a year. I have been fortunate enough to stay with a local as well as the Will o the Wisp hotel as well as a villa alongside the mountain.
The hotel is well appointed, well staffed, and some rooms have...

For The Newbies

by Keartine , Mar 23 '01
Pros: cabins available to rent in the area, decent beginner slope
Cons: not much help for beginning skiers
Wisp and Deep Creek Lake are beautiful, and the ski resort seemed well maintained. The amount of snowfall in the area was incredible. The only problem is that, for a beginning skier like me, there was not a lot of help. I visited Wisp in January 2001,...

Pros: clean, fun, friendly people
Cons: some lift lines get long
