We spent two nights at Wisp Resort, hoping that it would become our go-to place for skiing.

Maybe this place is better for seasoned skiers, but for beginners, Wisp is awful. Our instructor was short-tempered and incompetent - after taking us to the top of the hill, he actually pushed our daughter, who fortunately managed to stop after a few feet. If she had lost control, I dread to think what would have happened. At least they refunded the cost of our lesson.

The food was generally awful, although some items on the overpriced DC Bar menu were good (I especially enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich), but the salads were uninspired and when we ordered Eggs Benedict for breakfast, the eggs were so undercooked that the egg whites were clear and extremely runny. It seemed that the waitress did not know that the egg whites should be cooked all the way through, and there should not be any clear liquid coming out when you cut into them!

The hotel staff were hit or miss too - some were taciturn, while some were friendly.

Since we never got a proper ski lesson, and never actually got to do any skiing, the fact that we lost weight on this vacation says a lot about the quality of the food. While I appreciate the fact that we didn't gain weight, we did not go there with the intention of dieting.

Bottom line - we won't be coming back.
