[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just spent a night at the Lodge at Wisp. I wouldn't say it was luxury but it was clean, convenient, and had a pool/fitness center/hot tub/firepit. The website says it is renovated but it appeared we were in the older section. We really enjoyed the mountain and we are blue/green skiers only.[/quote]

I second Wisp.  It's three hours, relatively large especially for blue/green skiers, and as pp said - it has a decent lodge.  I believe some of the rooms are renovated, but not all.  There are also more restaurant choices around Deep Creek Lake, including a decent pizza place that gets packed.  There is a nice view of the lake from some of the runs.  We always stay a minimum of two nights though - drive up on Friday night, ski Saturday and half day Sunday, then drive home, or go for a three day weekend.

Here's a good website that has profiles of all the resorts closest to DC.  There are quite a few in Pennsylvania.  A lot of people like Seven Springs and I have to confess I haven't been in over 20 years, but there were tons of unruly teenagers all over the slopes the several times that I have skied there.  Wisp is a better family place - although my opinion may be outdated.

I've been wanting to try Canaan Valley or Timberline, but have never been.  Maybe someone who has been there can give us the scoop on those two resorts.

Have fun!
