Maryland is home to only one ski resort, Wisp, a small resort deep in the western part of the state. Besides Wisp, local skiers and snowboarders enjoy going to resorts such as Liberty and Roundtop up in Pennsylvania. With the upcoming long weekends before and after midterms, this time of year provides the perfect opportunity for students to head up to the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Senior Daniel Murakami got a head start and went snowboarding with his friends the first weekend back from break. Daniel\u2019s resort of choice was Seven Springs, located in western Pennsylvania. \u201cIt was the closest resort that has a lot of snow,\u201d he explains, adding that, \u201cother resorts like Whitetail, Liberty, and Wisp had only just opened,\u201d while Seven Springs opened earlier. Daniel also enjoyed the fact that \u201cit was snowing there.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Seven Springs seems to be a popular destination this year with others like senior Jett Born, who visited the resort during winter break to go snowboarding.

Senior Tegan Alewine says she \u201ccan do both\u201d but is \u201cbetter at skiing,\u201d though she admits that \u201csnowboarding is more fun.\u201d Junior Max Delulliis is on the opposite end of the spectrum and is a lifelong skier, claiming that he \u201cbasically grew up on the slopes.\u201d Max has big plans for this season as he hopes to \u201cland [his] first backflip,\u201d but to hopefully avoid any injury, he plans to do so in \u201csix feet of powder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With skiing and snowboarding being a popular activity among students this winter, it&#8217;s important to remember to always thoroughly plan your trips and prepare for all accommodations. Tegan warns that \u201cit\u2019s\u2026 expensive,\u201d explaining why she \u201cdoesn\u2019t go often.\u201d It\u2019s also important to take proper safety precautions and only work within your skill level and not follow the advice of Max Delulliis to \u201cjust send it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bryan Simo, Staff Writer It\u2019s officially ski and snowboard season in Maryland, and River Hill students have already started hitting the slopes.
