Did you know Maryland is stoked to host extreme action sports competitions on the slopes as well as sand? In the excitement over the Dew Tour coming to Ocean City in the summer, we want to remind you that daredevils from near and far are gravitating to
Wisp for the annual Maryland Open on February 26, 2011.
The Maryland Open is just that, an open event for freestyle skiers and snowboarders, with competition in various classes depending on the number of participants.
The throwdown will determine the top freestyle skier and snowboarder in the Mid Atlantic region after a day-long competition in slopestyle, big air, and terrain park. Contestants will be judged on style and amplitude.
This is a family-oriented event, since participants are all ages with classes determined by age and gender.
The competition will take place in the Pro Park, with the awards ceremony and apres-ski entertainment immediately after the last run.
Mountain Maryland does not limit its extreme sports to the winter. Wisp offered adrenaline rushes to downhill bikers at past Gravity East competitions. The rugged terrain presents a tough challenge for this series of downhill biking runs.
Of course, the internationally recognized
Adventure Sports Center whitewater course provides its own thrills and top level of competition. It has hosted such high caliber events as the Canoe and Kayak American Open World Series, one of four whitewater national championships in three years.
(The good part is that Adventure Sports is also available for piddling paddlers to play.)
There are all sorts of personal challenge outdoor activities to enjoy at Wisp year round, including rock climbing and treetop swings. So no matter what the season, or what limits you want to push, exhilarating Western Maryland is the place you want to be.
