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)

A tough-as-nails

space commando

crash-lands on a prehistoric planet where he

must fi ght to survive against heavily armed

mercenaries and man-eating dinosaurs.

MediaMix A Quick Take on New Releases

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

The fourth entry in the DMC

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,

Superman, Wonder Woman, et al.

— band together for the fi rst time in

the early 1960s.

Tons of wince-inducing sexual

innuendo and bizarre, “Dark Shad-

ows”-style plot twists don’t help the

game’s weak story.— Evan Narcisse
