"what should I be asking them, other than general questions about their college. "

Neither/nor. Do not risk annoying them or appearing clueless by asking general questions about their college, especially as skieurope notes for things that can easily be researched on your own. There’s nothing really you should be asking them, unless you genuinely have a question or interest that you can’t research on your own.

Does that mean you shouldn’t contact them? Nope. It means be smart about whether you contact them and think hard about the content of your contact. What you ask and how you ask it gives them information about you. Are you lazy (asking questions when the answers appear on page one of the college website), are you articulate, are you showing you’ve researched the college and have a real question about an interesting facet that’s not obvious?
