Skiing/Snowboarding
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 3, 2007 - Liberty Mountain - $15 lift tickets. Ski Center's Demo Day at Ski Liberty. Reduced priced lift tickets are available in advanced from Ski Center.
January 4, 2007 - many locations - $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.
