Bought I season pass there this year since I now live a little over a half hour away.  Seven Springs was my main place to go the last few years.  How does Wisp compare?

This makes me sad :(

Are the parks really that bad?  And is there any glade skiing?

ive been skiing at 7 springs since i was little but ive skied at wisp many times. im about an hour from both resorts. wisp doesn't even compare to the springs.  their parks are...not really good enough to be called parks. and the black diamonds at wisp are like blue squares at 7 springs

Thanks for the replies.  Would you guys be able to elaborate on what the parks are like there feature-wise?  Are any of the jumps a decent size?

I haven't been there in a few years, but I was in the same exact situation in college. They had a solid rope tow / handle in their main park which made it easy to lap quickly. There can be some ok "glades" if they get a decent amount of snow.

You can't really beat going skiing at a decent place a few days a week once you are done with class plus it is empty during the week. Just remember, it will be what you make of it.

7 springs is really not that bad of a drive from Morgantown either ( which I am assuming where you are) and they have a good deal on passes for college students. I would consider getting both if you can afford it. Worth it for sure.
