Additional details
Winter Activities: Western Maryland offers excellent skiing and ample snow during most of the winter season. Always contact the state park for current snow and trail conditions as well as current service charges.
Ski Rentals and lessons are available in the park through Allegany Expeditions by calling 1-800-819-5170. The ski concession is located in the Recreation Hall and is open when ski conditions are acceptable from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and holidays with weekday rentals available by appointment. Always dress appropriately, as frostbite and hypothermia can be cause for concern during periods of extreme cold. Inexperienced skiers are cautioned against trail-use on steep slopes. The trails are marked according to their level of difficulty.
As the snow base becomes packed, skiers should become adept at turning and stopping before attempting the more challenging downhill runs on the Blue, Purple, Red, and far end of the Green Trails. Melting of snow and packing of the snow base can create extremely fast and challenging runs on steeper slopes. If you have not yet perfected your stops and turns, you are best advised to stay on flatter trails.
Some trail sections may have a thinner coating of snow cover for short distances, especially those sections with heavy canopy cover from hemlock trees or runoff from hillside springs. This can cause damage to ski bases from underlying rocks, or put less experienced skiers off balance. Skiers should be prepared to stop when descending hills where these conditions exist.
Trail etiquette is of primary importance during the winter months to optimize the use of snow covered trails for all users within the park. Skiers are required to keep to the right of the trail, using and/or setting established tracks (unless passing) to accommodate two-way travel throughout the park's trail system. Hikers and snowshoe users are reminded not to walk in cross country ski tracks as this hinders the skiers' use of trails. Hikers and snowshoe users should use the center portion of the trail for travel. Skate cross country skiers may use the middle section of the trail also, but must defer to snowshoe users and hikers. Single file travel is recommended whenever there are other trail users in the vicinity. Trail users are reminded that if stopping, they should step off the trail so as not to interfere with other recreational users.
Mountain bikes are prohibited from New Germany's trails once the trails become snow-covered. Pets are not permitted in the park or on its associated trails, due to the potential for conflict with other visitors.
