Did You Know...
Liberty Mountain and Carroll Valley golf course were originally
developed in the mid 1960's as a focal point for a major real
estate development. The name of the ski mountain and the
development was Charnita, named after Charles and Anita Rist, the
developer and his wife. Charlie Rist brought in a gentleman named
Dick Brown to develop and manage the ski area. Dick Brown had just
designed Ski Roundtop the year before. It would only be about ten
years later that the Charnita development suffered unfortunate
bankruptcy, and Ski Roundtop's owner Snow Time, Inc. would purchase
the ski mountain and rename it Ski Liberty. The golf course and
cluhouse was sold separately. In the late '90s, Ski Liberty was
renamed Liberty Mountain Resort to be more enticing to snowboarders
and to address the resort's growing focus on wedding, banquet and
conference business. In 2003, Boulder Ridge Snow Tubing was added
to the growing list of resort amenities. In May of 2010, Liberty
Mountain purchased the golf course, clubhouse and additional
facilities, bringing the resort back to it's four season
vision.
The resort is owned by Snow Time, Inc. which also owns two other
area winter sport resorts, Whitetail Ski Resort and Ski Roundtop.
The three resorts offer many season pass options and the popular
Advantage Cards that are good at any of the three resorts. The
three resorts are all within easy day-trip driving distance of the
Washington DC/Baltimore areas.
