Year-round Family Fun at Ski Resorts

Ski slopes and resorts have such beautiful and varied facilities that they make excellent family vacations in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

When the powder has melted and the temperature risen, many ski resorts gear up for their second season. The fact that more ski areas are keeping their doors open in summer and autumn means that you can book a chalet or lodge at very reasonable rates and participate in a wide range of warm-weather, outdoor activities. You'll also find organized children's activities, health clubs, golf and tennis programs, hiking, river rafting, and even outdoor concerts for a 20 to 50% discount from winter rates!

These same resorts also cater to families when the snow is falling, but at higher rates. Steamboat, Colorado, however, often lets children 12 and under ski, sleep, and rent equipment free of charge, with one paying adult. At Purgatory, Colorado, kids 12 and under ski free with parents any day of the week. At Okemo Mountain Ski Resort in Ludlow, Vermont, kids 12 and under stay free in a condo, and those 6 and under also ski free!
