- Name four ski areas in South Dakota

- In which state is Giants Ridge Ski Area located?

- Name the long-time Scandinavian ski school director (now deceased) of Alta, Utah).

- Name 4 Northern Hemisphere ski areas offering lift-served summer skiing. Janeski named TIMBERLINE which is one answer.

- Name the Midwest ski area with a gondola.

- What long gone skiing periodical was sometimes known as "Slow Country"?

- In which Olympics (county/resort) did Tommy Moe win his medal?

- What brand of snow groomers are used at Wolf Creek, Colorado?

- In which state is Folsom Custom Skis located?

- What sporting goods store started the "sniagrab" sale GART BROTHERS, when was it held, and what prominent magazine had a photo of skiers camping out in front of the store? And said store was known as what?

Spirit Mt.---> Minnesota Red Lodge, MT for lift served summer skiing, may be a different name now. Terry Peak is the only SD ski area I knew of. I've never been to any of these three.
