MCHENRY, Md. — The big snow is bringing big business to Maryland's only ski resort.

Lori Epp of the Wisp resort in McHenry said Monday the parking lot was full as visitors enjoyed the 36 inches of snow that fell over the weekend in far western Maryland.

She says the storm caused some late openings of chair lifts Saturday as resort workers struggled to get in. But all skiable terrain was open by Saturday night, and sales on Sunday were 12 percent above a year ago.

Epp says the forecast for more snow and continued cold weather this week bodes well for Presidents Day weekend business.
