If your family loves the powdery slopes as much as we do, then these fun and ski-like summer ideas can turn your summertime blues into hot days worth remembering! Whether you’d rather be sipping cocoa in the lodge, or you’re after the adrenaline-fueled enjoyment that only comes with black-diamond laps, then these fun and family-friendly ideas will keep your family satisfied until it’s time to unpack those skis again!
Try Some Ski-Like Sports With the Family
Just because the slopes are closed doesn’t mean you can’t embrace the spirit of carving out some S-turns! For the avid skiers in your family, a quality pair of hockey rollerblades or an elongated style like Skiroads are an impressively-viable alternative. While you may be dodging pebbles instead of ice patches, the right pair of blades and a steep hill in your neighborhood closely mimics the rush of skiing. If you’re lucky enough to have a boat (or know someone who does), waterskiing is another great choice for a family-friendly day of fun on the lake.
For the boarders who can’t wait for next season, skateboards may seem like the obvious choice, but there are actually some better alternatives. Designed to replicate the buttery-smooth transition of a snowboard as you flow from heel to toe, there are several carving road boards that are exclusively designed to bring that snowboarding sensation to the streets.
Before you hit the streets, check out our ski & snowboard helmets if you’re in need of some unrivaled safety additions. While you may need to wait until the snow before you can take advantage of our ultra-insulated helmets, our summertime specials equal huge discounts on all of our best brands.
Make Exciting Plans for the Upcoming Snow Season
Even though your next mountain adventure may be months away, organizing a ski trip is fun and will give your family an amazing vacation to look forward to! Planning ahead for refreshingly-cool moments on the slopes is also a great idea in the off-season. Before pricing spikes in the winter, you’ll find special deals at many of the top resorts around the country. The early skier catches the best snow, and the proactive family is guaranteed to save serious cash by pre-ordering your passes!
With all that extra dough, you’ll also have enough leftover for any essential ski equipment updates you need. We update our expansive ski and board catalog each season, and offer a dynamic mix of apparel and gear options for all skill levels and sizes. You’ll also find a variety of high-end brands without the high-end price tags!
