Anyone know of any fun events going on at ski resorts this summer?

My local mountain (Okemo) is starting its summer concert season next week: free concerts every Friday night over at Jackson Gore.

Tremblant is full of stuff to do all summer.

This weekend is provincial and national mtn bike races. I think next weekend is vintage car racing at the track. Concerts all summer long. Plus the usual golf, tennis, water sports, inline skating, biking, hiking and star gazing.

Pretty busy place if you want it to be.

Our local bump is doing a summer day camp for kids. Also they are hosting breakfast on the hill every Sunday morning. Breakfast consist of local produce and is really good for the price.

Park City and it's 3 resorts has become a year-round destination resort. All 3 have at least one lift running do accomodate lift-served mountain biking and hiking. The Canyons and Deer Valley have concerts - Deer Valley has the Utah Symphony and then some big-name concerts, plus the Jazz Festival. Park City has the alpine coaster, the alpine slide, a kiddie park, and Ziprider. As for the town, the first weekend of August we have the Park City Arts Festival - a huge deal that takes up all of Main Street. There are mountain AND road bike races, too. Those are the big things. Oh, we have a fantastic 4th of July day - pancake breakfast, 5k run, a great parade and awesome fireworks.
Park City used to be rather quiet and sleepy once the resorts closed down. Now, we're pretty busy in the summer, too. It's a great place to vacation anytime!!

Killington has a wine festival in July I think.

Jiminy Peak (Mass.) has all sorts of activities, climing, mt coaster, swimming pool etc. for kids.

Butternut and Great Barrington (Mass) area has a lot of arts/crafts stuff going on during the summer.

Hunter, NY has festivals during the summer as does Belleyare.

Just saw this about Catamount (NY/MA line):

For Spring and Summer fun Catamount's new Adventure Park features aerial forest ropes courses and zip lines over 4 acres.This will surely be an exciting challenge for you, your friends and your family. We will also have our Freeride Catamount Mountain Biking program opening Saturday, June 6th featuring an Intense Cycles Demo Day. Saturdays and Holiday Sundays, beginning June 20th and continuing through Labor Day, mountain biking will be in full operation. Mountain Biking and Dirt Biking Clinics are on the summer schedule too. New for this season will be a Mountain Biking skills park which is nearing completion

This actually sounds a lot better than skiing there! (but of course, a bad day skiing is better than any day at work! :smile:)

We almost prefer our home resort (Whistler) in the summer. There's so much to do... mountain biking, canoeing, swimming in the glacier lakes, hiking, sitting on a deck for dinner, etc. There doesn't even need to be special events scheduled, as we're so busy doing other things. It's truly great family time and we love it.
