For some fine 'authentic' cross country skiing in Garrett County, Maryland, join us at the Ski Farm, where snow fall is abundant! You'll discover pastoral beauty and peace and quiet away from the crowded resort area at Wisp and Deep Creek Lake. The winter season typically brings us over 150” of genuine snow- direct from Mother Nature. Located on 520 acres of field and forest at the base of Backbone Mountain you will find 25 K plus of maintained nordic ski trails, including 15-20 K of groomed ski trails. Cross Country ski your way up Backbone to one of the finest views in the county, then swoosh back and warm yourself by the fire.

Enjoy hot organic coffee and teas in a laid back atmosphere. Everyone from first timers to old timers can find the right terrain on our groomed and backcountry ski trail system. We have everything you’ll need to have a great day of cross country skiing.Exercise your right to enjoy winter...
............Free your heels!
