During the summer, Deep Creek Lake has much to boast, given the large lake with lots of water to move around in, whether you’re in a boat or on a jet ski. When the winter hits, Deep Creek Lake’s attributes flip-flop as the height of the mountains glisten in the sun as fresh-fallen snow turns the beautiful area into a winter wonderland in the truest sense – people come from all around to go down the mountains in the snow.
Most likely you’re going to Wisp Mountain where the Wisp Resort attracts hundreds of skiers every winter. 2009 season passes range from $599 for an adult limited pass at regular price to student passes $339 (ages 6-18+ College Students). More information on ski passes can be found here. The earlier you buy your tickets before the season, the greater your discount will be.

If you’re looking for a safer route to enjoying the outdoors, yet drifting down the mountain with ease, perhaps snow tubing is right up your alley. Snow tubing is available for all ages. Although you may not bring your own tube, The Wisp Resort boasts 300 snow tubes for rent. Tubing is bought in two-hour sessions on weekends.
The tubing lanes themselves are 750ft. That’s the equivalent of two and a half football fields! Rates range from $15 Monday – Thursday to $22 on weekends. Visit the Wisp Resort tubing page for more info.
From the Wisp website:
If you like to sled, you’ll love Snow Tubing! It’s one of the fastest growing winter sports in America because everyone can do it! Just hop in the tube, step onto one of two Conveyor Carpets and up you go! With nine tube shoots, designated helpers and it’s own snowmaking and grooming machines, Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park is winter attraction you don’t want to miss!
Would you believe it – you can even go down the Mountain Coaster even in the winter! If you would like to share any of your photos of the Wisp Resort in the Winter season, we’d be happy to hear from you and feature your experience our site.
