Wisp opens for the season


Maryland's only ski resort said it will open Saturday.

The Wisp resort at Deep Creek Lake has been making snow for about three weeks and has produced enough to blanket several of its beginner and intermediate trails.

Beside skiing, Wisp has a new attraction called a "mountain coaster." Spokeswoman Lori Epps says it's a cross between a roller coaster and an alpine slide that allows people to ride on rails down Marsh Mountain.
