March is here! As the transition month from winter to spring, we’re gearing up to say goodbye to the snow and hello to the sunshine. Don't count winter out yet! Wisp Resort will try to stay open through as much March as possible, blowing snow where needed and maintained their front-side slopes and snow tubing. We broke down some of our favorite things to do this month to help you make the most of March!
Hit the Slopes – One Last Time – Wisp Resort has been busy maintaining their slopes to keep them in prime spring skiing condition. With the return of cool temperatures and natural snow, conditions are fantastic and they've been able to blow more snow around the resort. They have not yet announced a tentative closing date, so get out there and get a few more runs in before it’s too late!! The tubing park has also been well maintained and the conditions have been awesome! Spring is an awesome time to improve your skiing skills or learn as a beginner. The snow is generally soft, making it easier to carve, and more consistent in terms of texture. Snow tubing is also great during warmer weather because you're able to link more than one tube together and slide down the mountain with your friends.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day – Many local nightlife spots will be offering live music and fun events, including The Honi-Honi, Black Bear Tavern, and Moonshadow! In Oakland, check out CaddyShack Bar & Grill and Vagabond Taproom! Make sure you follow all of your favorite spots on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with their events and specials.
NEW - Home Show Expo - Garrett County Board of REALTORS is hosting a brand new event at the lake - The Home Show Expo! Come out to the Garrett County Fairgrounds on March 29 and talk to vendors in all categories related to 'home!'
Get Your Game On – The spring season, especially March, can be a difficult time to plan events outside once the ski slopes have closed and the weather isn’t…great. Luckily, Deep Creek has plenty of awesome trivia and game nights on various days of the week to help make staying indoors a little more enjoyable. Mountain State Brewing Co. offers bingo on Sunday afternoons and trivia on Thursdays! Stop by CaddyShack in Oakland on Thursday evenings for their take on trivia - most of the events are themed! Another neat local option is through Garrett Gamers, who host a weekly game night every Friday at different locations throughout the county.
While we’re always happy to see snow in the forecast, we’re also itching for that warm spring weather, too. Luckily, March usually brings both. There’s a lot to do this month to help you shake off some of that cabin fever – get out and enjoy it!
