Everyone knows that Snowshoe Mountain Resort is the destination for winter skiing, but did you also know that it's even better in the summertime?

Snowshoe Mountain Resort sits at an elevation of 4,848 feet, so it's nice and cool up here. In addition to the gorgeous scenery, you'll enjoy an average high temperature of just 71 degrees in July, and 70 degrees in August. It's pure bliss!

Go mountain biking on the Enduro course. It's just one of 40 trails here, offering 1,500 vertical feet of descent.

Catch a free concert. Snowshoe offers free concerts throughout the summer. Click here for an events calendar.

Take Ballhooter Lift up to Shavers Lake, where you can fish, canoe and bask on the beach.

The lake also includes an inflatable obstacle course!

Splash around at Split Rock Pools. The indoor/outdoor pool area includes a fun slide and a hot tub for the adults. Admission is free if you're staying in the lodge; other guests can swim and play for just $15.

Play a round of golf at the Raven Golf Club.

Take an off-road adventure on a one-seater or four-seater Polaris. This is a great way to explore some of the 11,000 acres here.
