Four-Seasons
of Outdoor Adventure at Wisp
|
Wisp at Deep Creek Mountain Resort is a playground of fun all
year long. From skiing and snowboarding down the slopes and
racing down Bear Claw Tubing Park in the winter, to playing
golf on a sprawling 18-hole course with a com-bination of open
holes and tree-lined fairways, or participating in high adventure
at the skate park or paintball course — Wisp has something
for everyone.
In 2001, Wisp at Deep Creek Mountain Resort added 24 snowmaking
machines and the ability to continually replenish their 12 ponds
with water from Deep Creek Lake. Wisp now has the capacity to
make snow 20% faster, pump-ing eight thousand gallons of water
to the snowmaking guns every minute. That’s approximately
2,150 tons of snow every hour. Wisp now has four times the amount
of water and 15% more snowmaking equipment, meaning they can
make snow earlier, more consistently and more often. Although
2001/2002 was an unseasonably warm winter, Wisp always had 4
feet of snow on 95% of their trails, and remained open throughout
the month of March.
In addition to the new snow making capabilities, Wisp at Deep
Creek Mountain Resort added Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park, America’s
fastest growing winter activity. Snow tubing is the perfect
outdoor activity and is fun for all ages. There are no lessons
needed or expensive equipment to buy or maintain. Two surface
tow-ropes carry tubers to the top of six runs. Guests ride the
tube to the bottom of the hill and simply attach the tow-rope
ring to the tube handle to ride back up.
Spring, summer and fall are just as active as winter. In addition
to the champ-ionship golf course and driving range, Wisp is
adding new activities that appeal to all ages. Their “Learn-to-Golf”
programs feature a Pee Wee Day Camp which provides children
ages 4-7 an introduction to the game of golf. For the 8-18 year
olds, the Junior Day Camp offers extensive training and tournament
programs. And the Women’s Clinics are a series of learn-to-golf
classes that will cover more than just the basics.
But that’s not all. Wisp at Deep Creek Mountain Resort
has added a paintball course, a skate park, and ATV tours to
their existing four seasons of outdoor activities. Future plans
include water skiing lessons, kayaking, fly fishing and more.
The restaurants at Wisp include DC’s Mountain Steak House
and Bar, and Shenanigan’s Bar and Grill.
Wisp is surrounded by Deep Creek Mountain Resort, a master planned
com-munity on approximately 3,000 acres. Home sites in the communities
are designed to fit within their own natural environments. All
home sites are available for sale through Realtors in Garrett
County and the resort’s Sales Center. Further information
