The lifts may be quiet for the summer, but your Mid-Atlantic ski knowledge doesn’t have to go into hibernation.

DCSki has created a new 26-question quiz covering resorts, signature trails, weather, snowmaking, lift history, former resort names, and Lost Ski Areas across Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.

Take the quiz here: dcski.com/quiz.html

Once you finish, post your score and ranking in this thread. Did you emerge as a Snowplow Apprentice, a Corduroy Cruiser, a DCSki Historian, or the elusive Mid-Atlantic Ski Oracle?

Feel free to discuss the quiz here, but please avoid posting specific answers so other readers can take it without spoilers.

Have fun!

24 out 26. I missed the oldest ski resort in VA and the start date of DCSki.

 That's a good score.  I only got 25/26 when I was testing it and I wrote the questions, ha.  I mixed up which resort in PA had the highest summit.

21/26 - Didn't expect to get that many correct, actually.  Good quiz, though.  I know my PA/MD/WV, but not my VA apparently.

 I knew that the Omni Homestaed was a grand hotel from the late 1800. I was going to pick that but I thought skiing was suspended there in the 1990s.

Never been there (my buddy goes all the time), but Omni bedford springs I've been to a few times (old place, presidential stays, telegraph transmissions, etc...).  No skiing at bedford springs, but Blue Knob nearby, and they have a nice golf course...

Shoulda been a question about Nemacolin and its small collection of slopes....  Never skied there either.
