Wisp Set to Open Friday, Nov. 28th



(Blowing Snow at Wisp, 11.18.08, by Karlo Gesner)
It has been snowing like crazy for the past two days. Big fluffy snowflakes have been falling from the sky leaving over a foot of snow. You can even catch a few die-hard skiers and snowboarders hiking the trails at Wisp to get that first taste of the season. Rumor is that someone even hiked and skied eye-opener (crazy!). For all you cross country skiers, the trails at Herrington are looking good. I spoke with DCWST (Deep Creek Winter Sports Team) coach Eric Recker and he says that he's been able to get in 3 full days of cross country skiing. As you can see above, the guns are b lowing at full force at Wisp. Last time I looked they were making snow on Squirrel Cage, Face, Belly Flop, Wisp Trail, and Possum. it looks to be a very promising season. Head on up to get your first tracks.
