Introduction
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

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.
