The plastic thud of a snow tube hitting the packed earth echoes off the surrounding pines as a muffled cheer rises from below. At Wisp Resort, the hill isn’t just a slope – it’s a seasonal theater where all ages play their part. Set in Maryland’s Allegheny Mountains, this winter escape welcomes anyone chasing the thrill of childhood on a cushion of snow.
Thrills on the Hillside
You’ll find yourself grinning before your tube even leaves the top of the 750-foot course. The anticipation builds as you perch at the edge, wind brushing against your cheeks, the world quiet except for the crunch of snow beneath boots and the low hum of excitement on the hill.
The best part? No need for skis, goggles, or bravado. Just settle into that inflatable ring and let gravity do its job. With each run, you’ll pick up confidence – and maybe a bit more speed – as you ripple down the snow-packed grooves.
Moments That Stay With You
Wisp Resort may be best known for its ski slopes, but tucked beside its sharp turns and powder trails is a quieter, more inclusive thrill – twelve smooth tube chutes that invite endless returns. Whether you’re five or sixty-five, this is a place where everyone gets to play.
Dress warm – this is a full-body laugh-until-you’re-red kind of day. Slide down again and again, reveling in the rush and the simple joy of winter making you feel weightless.
You’ll fly just high enough to squeal. You’ll land just soft enough to laugh. And yes – keep that scarf tucked in and hat snug, because the adventure doesn’t pause for wardrobe malfunctions.
As long as young riders meet the 42-inch height requirement, the whole crew can take part. It’s not uncommon to see three generations sharing the slope – kids bounding ahead, parents reliving childhood thrills, and grandparents grinning from their tubes like it’s the ’50s all over again.
This isn’t just a place to pass time – it’s where winter memories stick. Cold noses, warm laughter, and a feeling you’ll want to bottle for next year’s return trip.
