Reader supported

Help keep DCSki independent.

For more than three decades, DCSki has combined independent reporting, resort information, Mid-Atlantic ski history, and a welcoming community. Reader support helps keep all of it online.

Independent reporting Original news, features, firsthand reports, and commentary. Community A long-running Forum where Mid-Atlantic skiers share knowledge and experiences. History preserved DCSki documents more than 100 Lost Ski Areas from across the region. Resort guides Detailed profiles of ski destinations throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

A labor of love

DCSki takes a significant amount of time and money to operate. Its Editor, M. Scott Smith, has contributed countless hours over the years writing stories, maintaining the site, moderating the community, preserving its archives, and covering operating costs.

Advertising helps, but reader contributions provide another important source of support for an independent publication serving a relatively specialized audience.
