Introduction[edit | edit source]

While Maryland is located out of the primary snow belt, there are several ski resorts that feature man-made snow close enough to make single-day ski trips possible.


Upcoming trips[edit | edit source]

 January 3, 2007 - Liberty Mountain  - $15 lift tickets.  Ski Center's Demo Day at Ski Liberty.  Reduced priced lift tickets are available in advanced from the Ski Center.
 January 4, 2007 - *several* - $10 total for beginners.  Pennsylvania Learn to Ski and Snowboard Day, $10 gets you beginner's area lift tickets, rental ski/snowboard gear, and an introductory lesson.  This is a great way to learn to ski or snowboard since the cost is a fraction of the regular price to learn.  Several area resorts are participating, and require advanced reservations.
