Ultimate Guide To Ski Resorts In Summer

In the past decade, resorts coast to coast have ramped up their summer offerings to boost year-round business and offer an activity-based resort experience that can be enjoyed by all. Investments into highly developed mountain bike trails, golf courses, adventure centers and kids camps have resulted in the ultimate summer vacation experience. Swap your skis for bikes, boots for trail shoes, and heavy layers for shorts and a tank, and you'll be ready for the ultimate summer ski resort vacation (without the snow skiing, of course).

You can likely hike all over the mountain, and quite easily on the cut and maintained trails. Mountain biking and specifically downhill biking are popular. Swim in nearby lakes. Ride the lifts. Lounge at rooftop pools. Go horseback riding. Rock climb. Zip line. View wildlife. Take a guided mountain tour. Sample craft brews at a beer festival. Catch an outdoor concert. Eat delicious, seasonal food. Hit the spa. Drop the kids off at day camp and explore the town. (And there's so much more!)

Live in luxury for a week or two at any of the high-end resort hotels or home rentals, or cater to a tight budget with low-cost lodging and totally free activities: it's up to you. Note, however, that most hotels slash prices by at least 30% during summer season, so you'll save no matter what. Subtract the gear rentals and lift ticket prices of a standard ski vacation, and you'll find even more savings.

In this guide, we'll clue you in on where to go, what to do, and how to execute the best summer vacation at a ski resort. You'll find tips on the best outdoor activities, dining options, and party spots; we'll highlight top resorts for families, extreme sports, overall experience, and more. If you're interested, continue reading for our ultimate guide to ski resorts this summer.

Centrally located in the heart of the mountains of British Columbia, Whistler Blackcomb boasts everything you could imagine – and more – in a summer resort. Long, sunny days, cool nights, and unparalleled access to outdoor activities make this resort a favorite for extreme sports enthusiasts, foodies, and families alike.

The Peak 2 Peak Alpine Experience Ticket offers access to glacial vistas, 50+ kilometers of hiking trails, and guided tours through miles of wildflowers. Take the chance to see a black bear at one of the many wildlife viewing areas, or head to the ZipTrek zip line to get an aerial view of the mountains above the canopy.

Fly into either and take a bus to the resort, or rent a car if you plan to explore the greater British Columbia area.

The resort village itself boasts daily activities for kids, and lift serviced hiking trails extend for miles.

Because of its close proximity to national parks, Jackson Hole attracts crowds in the summer, perhaps the only downside of a visit this time to year. Stay at the resort in Teton Village for an off-the-beaten-path vacation, and bike, drive, or shuttle into the town of Jackson for all the downtown wild west fun.

The Lake Tahoe area is a premiere playground in and of itself for summer fun and leisure; you can hike in the mountains or splash around in the lake, or kick back on a sun-washed deck and simply enjoy the endless California sunshine and laid-back vibes. Northstar California resort adds structured outdoor fun to the mix, as well as a high alpine village experience that recently underwent a billion dollars of renovation and development.

Adults and kids alike can hit the mountains hard with hiking and biking, but we love Northstar for its encouragement of leisure too. Play a round of golf on the 72-par course or get in a round of tennis with friends; stroll through the village on one of the signature Wine Walks or get artsy with pottery painting and candle making.
