Winter Sports Rule in Western Maryland
WHERE: Garrett County in Western Maryland.
WHY: A flurry of sports, a very Special Olympics and lighting your fire.
HOW FAR: About 26 miles from start to finish.
W estern Maryland out-snows Fairbanks. Perched high in theAppalachian Mountains, Garrett County receives more ofthe fluffy white stuff than the Alaskan city, 100 inches vs. 65a year. Daytime temperatures average around 28 degrees in
winter — a heat wave compared with Fairbanks’s 8 to -17 degrees — andrise to the upper 40s in March, ideal conditions for those who like toschuss down in shorts and T-shirts.
The center of action is Deep Creek Lake, a 3,900-acre freshwater holecreated in 1925 by the Youghiogheny Hydro-Electric Corp., which flood-ed the river valley to create a power plant. The company also constructeda resort town, with ski slopes that spill down like frozen waterfallstoward the crystalline lake. Lodges, sporting-goods outfitters and restau-rants dot the shores, forming a buffer between peaks and waves.
Garrett County is a veritable Wide World of Winter Sports. The DeepCreek Lake area offers snowboarding, downhill skiing, snowshoeing,cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and even dog sledding.Starting Feb. 24, Wisp Resort will take athletics to the next level with the
Special Olympics Maryland Winter Games. About 300 disabled competi-tors from Maryland and Delaware will contend in alpine skiing andsnowshoeing, among other events.
Wildlife also abounds in this winterscape, with white-tailed deerscampering through the hardwood and pine forests, plus black bearsmistakenly emerging from hibernation during warm spells. And don’tforget all those bunnies sliding down the slopes.

TITLE BASIC STORY SAMPLE GRAB GRADEWHAT YOU’LL LOVE
“There are a lot of cliches for a moment like
that — the wind going out of your sails, a
pin popping your balloon, the rug getting
pulled out from under you — and you
know what? Every one of them is dead-on
accurate.”
— Holyfi eld recalls a crushing bad call
The boxer’s analyses of his fi ghts are
surprisingly fair and easy to follow — and it’s
impossible to resist fl ipping ahead
to the description of his ear-bite fi ght against
Mike Tyson.
It’s 1961, and fresh-out-of-
college advertising agency
art assistant Happy designs an ad recruiting
participants for a Yale Psychology Department
experiment that yields shocking results.
It’s a trippy, intimate work,
fi lled with looped falsetto
vocals and truly harrowing
love songs.
“I tell my love to wreck it all /
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall”
— “Skinny Love”
Battling a fl ock of raptors should be exciting,
but repeatedly watching the same animation of
Turok sinking his knife into the scales of a dino
can make the action tedious.— Christopher Healy
There are enough make-you-jump
moments to keep you on edge
every time you hear a rustle in
the realistically rendered foliage.
In Wes Anderson’s latest, three brothers
(Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and
Adrien Brody, at right) travel through India
in hopes of reconnecting.
Cult heroes AMC —
expert chroniclers of the
romantic lives of the
drunk, cranky and disso-
lute — return for their
second offering since
reuniting in 2003.
When it looks as
though franchise hero
Dante has turned to evil,
players control a new
protagonist named Nero
to take down the half-
demon investigator.
Singer-songwriter Iver (a.k.a. Justin Vernon)
recorded most of his much-buzzed-about debut
alone in the Wisconsin woods.
The Learners By Chip Kidd
Scribner
$26
The four-time heavyweight
champ looks back on his long
life in the ring, the family and
religious principles that defi ned
his career, and the woman
— “Mama”— to whom he
credits it all.
Becoming Holyfi eld: A Fighter’s Journey By Evander Holyfi eld
with Lee Gruenfeld
Atria
$25
Anderson is one of the fi nest
composers of cinematic images
and familial relationships work-
ing today. The disc includes the
wonderful short
fi lm and prologue
“Hotel Chevalier.”
“Just give me some hope / Or at least
enough rope / Can you make my heart feel
complete?”
— “All the Lost Souls Welcome You to San Francisco”
“I have a $70,000 sliver of radioactive
meteor to stop the one from Metropolis.
With you, all I need is a penny for a
book of matches.”
— Batman lets the Martian Manhunter know he’s got the
superpowered alien bases covered
Nero’s abilities include a Devil Bringer, an
unholy right arm that helps him reach specifi c
spots, pulls enemy combatants toward him and
unleashes a devastating uppercut.
Iconic graphic designer Kidd coins a new
genre — stylized sentimentalism (think
AMC’s “Mad Men” without the bile) — to tell
this tale of a creative naif’s aesthetic and
emotional coming of age.
Knowing when to strike is part of
the strategy: It’s often wiser to hide
under a big fern and wait for a T. rex
to gobble up the bad guys.
Regardless of
the superheroics,
parents should
not make the
mistake of showing
this violent fi lm to
young children. — G.Z.
A central mystery skirts
resolution, but it’s up to the
reader to decide whether it
was meant to be solved in
the fi rst place.— Adriana Leshko
Iver’s fondness for lyrical obtuseness can
sometimes get the better of him.— Allison Stewart
Holyfi eld comes off as so emotionally balanced,
cool-headed and unwaveringly self-aware that
more fl awed types may fi nd it depressingly
tough to relate.— Reviewed by Sara Cardace
“Just one of the main attributes of Dick
Stankey, the client representative for
Krinkle Kutt, was there was no need to waste
time coming up with something funny to call him
behind his back.”
— Happy meets his fi rst client
“I wonder if the three of us would’ve been friends
in real life. Not as brothers, but as people.”
— Jack (Schwartzman) muses to siblingsPeter (Brody) and Francis (Wilson)

Even the group’s cheery songs make
Joy Division seem like Blink-182.— A.S.
For a fi lm about introspection
and discovery, the lack
of a commentary track
from Anderson
shows a real
blind spot.— Greg Zinman

nist Wonder Woman

series offers over-the-top,
neuron-rattling battles that
even veteran gamers will
fi nd challenging.
In this animated take on
Darwyn Cooke’s award-
winning epic superhero tale,
the Justice League — Batman,

Tons of wince-inducing sexual
innuendo and bizarre, “Dark Shad-
ows”-style plot twists don’t help the
game’s weak story.— Evan Narcisse
