| May 06, 2009 | | Year round outdoor activities at many ski resorts | Yes, ski season is over. While there are some places where you can ski year round, the U.S. really isn't one of those places. But that doesn't mean you have to stay away from ski resorts. Most of them offer year round activities.
Ski resorts as outdoor havens
Most ski resorts are -- of necessity -- located in the mountains. This means that they are set amongst natural beauty. And a range of outdoor activities. You can use a ski resort as a base to enjoy the following activities, depending on where it is located:
- Hiking
- Biking
- Fishing
- Rock climbing
- Boating
- Rafting
- Picnicking
Additionally, many ski resorts still run their chair lifts, offering scenic rides to visitors. Some resorts are also outfitted with alpine slides. There is no reason to avoid ski resorts during the "off" season. There's still plenty to do!
