Last Edited by The Wisperer on Friday, May 01, 2020The big indicator that spring has sprung in Deep Creek Lake is having snow flurries one day and 65° and sunshine the next. Another sign is the greening of the golf courses! Both Lodestone and Fantasy Valley Golf Courses are undergoing spring conditioning and shaping up nicely to prepare for the day we can open for operation. While we do not have an exact date at this time, it is our hope that the current regulations in place will lift or lighten soon and we can tee it up.
The Mountain Park is also under current closed regulations and we look forward to the day we can welcome new and returning guests to hear the squeals and laughter of family fun all over the mountain!
In the meantime, keep watching the webcam to catch wildlife playing on the mountain and nature continue to bloom.

Last Edited by Lori Zaloga on Sunday, April 12, 2020The coronavirus has disrupted life for pretty much everyone around the world, and our resorts are among the affected operations. The corona-crisis only impacted a small portion of our season, but it was enough that some of those who purchased our Mission: Four’dable 4-packs (M:4) might not have had a chance to use all of the lift tickets included.
In the past, any unused lift tickets (including Mission: Four’dable) have expired at the end of a ski season but because of the extenuating circumstances involved with the coronavirus, we have decided to allow up to two unredeemed M:4 tickets from this season to be used next season before (or on) Dec 24, 2020. Those qualifying tickets from this year will need to be taken to the ticket office after November 1, 2020, along with your ID to be exchanged for tickets that will work next season.
Alternatively, because of the unprecedented interruptions caused by the coronavirus, up to two unredeemed M:4 tickets from this season can be appended to a new M:4 purchased for next year and may be used anytime next season. Those tickets qualifying for exchange should be taken to the ticket office after November 1, 2020, along with your ID to be added to the newly purchased M:4 for the 2020/2021 season.
The 2019/2020 season had some great conditions, and some challenges, but we managed to get in the vast majority of a normal season even with the coronavirus caused shut down. Most importantly, we noticed time and again families, friends, and even those who enjoy being solo on the slopes, enjoying the improvements at Wisp Resort and being out in the fresh mountain air more than ever before. It’s unfortunate the coronavirus has been a major disruption for everyone, including the entire ski industry, and we hope this one-time extension of the M:4 program helps ease the inconvenience a bit.
While normally all M:4 tickets strictly expire at the end the season for which they were issued, the corona-crisis is anything but normal. Allowing the extension of up to two of the unused tickets is our way of helping you get the most out of your time on the mountain. We value you as a customer, we appreciate you as a patron, and we look forward to seeing you on the slopes at Wisp next season.
Stay healthy and ski safe!

Last Edited by Lori Zaloga on Friday, April 03, 2020The coronavirus has created a number of unique challenges. One of those is how to continue to serve our guests while also helping to protect their health and the health of our wonderful staff. We take both the service of our customers and the coronavirus safety concerns very seriously, so in order to protect our employees, our guests, and our communities, we are following CDC guidelines along with federal and state mandates for non-essential business operations in this most unusual of times.

We have staff working (mostly from home) who can respond to your needs and assist you with purchases and reservations so you can enjoy the fresh mountain air here in the not-too-distant future.

The unexpected closure of Wisp Resort has understandably caused a
great number of questions, concerns and uncertainty for individual guests, pass
holders, group bookings, weddings and Spring or early Summer operations.
We are evaluating the changing circumstances daily and doing our
best to address your questions and concerns. Like every other winter resort, we
are experiencing heavy call, email and social media volume. We will address
every inquiry, but it may take some time before we get to your specific
inquiry. This web site is your best source for up to date information.
There are a few questions we can answer at this time:
No, season passes are good for the duration of the season
regardless of the actual closing date. Opening and closing dates are planned
but not guaranteed.
No, complimentary tickets expire at the end of the season in
which they were issued.
Yes, we will refund any day ticket purchased for a day after the
closing date. We will process these automatically.
Yes, like online lift ticket purchases rental and ski school
purchases for any day after closing will be refunded. These too will be
processed automatically.
No, Buddy Tickets expire at the end of the season for which they
were issued.
Yes, any lodging reservation between now and May 1 can be
cancelled or changed with no penalty. We will reassess the situation closer to
May 1 as we know more about the COVID 19 situation.

From the start of time, we imagine the Moon was always a mysterious object to humankind. It appeared in the night sky and routinely waxed and waned. We eventually learned the moon impacted our daily lives in more profound ways and wanted to discover more so the race to the moon began in the 1960's to further explore this mysterious celestial body. On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launched it's mission to the Moon. After 4 days and 240,000 miles, Neil Armstrong and ‘Buzz’ Aldrin were taking one giant leap for mankind. July 20th marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S.A. landing on the Moon and Wisp Resort is celebrating with an out-of-this-world party.
Come Howl at the Moon as we celebrate this momentous event and enjoy UNLIMITED Mountain Coaster rides and Spider Monkey & Chipmunk Challenge Tours, Flying Saucer Disc Golf, Shooting Star Range, Live DJ with games and glow accessories and more! Plus, tickets include a picnic dinner.
