Hi -- Just looking for some feedback and/or recommendations on the "local" (i.e., MD, PA, W.VA, etc.) ski resorts. We'll probably do either a day trip or weekend trip, so we want to go somewhere that's no too far of a drive from So. MD. Any comments good or bad will be appreciated!

Went to Wisp this past w/e, which is located in Garrett County by Deep Creek Lake. No complaints, but its a good 4hr drive from Somd. Ski Liberty is closer. There is also Seven Springs, which I find nicer of the three located in PA.

We've been going to Massanutten (SP). They have a bunny slope, intermediate and expert plus rubber tubing. They also have a water park and for the adults, a live band club (Thurs - Sat). Very nice accommodations and only about 3 hours drive from here.

Whether you're a transplanted western skiier in search of thrills or a nervous novice contemplating the bunny hill, there are plenty of places to play this winter within several hours of the Washington area.

I went up on Thursday and stayed at the Silver Suites of Deep Creek off of Glendale Rd. Went skiing on Saturday. Some of the snow on black diamonds on the front side was melting, but we managed to bypass that. We left on Sunday, and go figure, it was supposed to snow.
