Ways to spend the summer while not skiing?

What do you do for a rush when all the snow at your mountain melts? I usually just get really lazy and depressed and sleep a lot, but I hear some people mountian bike and stuff. although i have a bike, I just weightlift and still feel lame. sometimes there is no substitute, but there must be something close(?) 

Any ideas?

yeah, the other summer I just lived on my trampoline. It was awesome, until I tried to sleep  on it, which didn't work.

Its definitly good, but there's like 5000 feet of hiking if you really want to ski worth enough for your time.

bike, roller blade, and work. if you have a job it will keep you busy and may be a little boring at times if your job sucks but at least you are being productive and will be able to afford that sweet oakley suit next fall.

Go to the beach. Bike around. Work at a farm. Wish I was skiing like 24/7. That's what I do at least.

Motocross, wakeboarding, biking. If you get activities you like to do at different times in the year it really helps out on not getting so depressed on missing skiing. In the winter I ski at my little hill and get to go out west for a week or two. Then I ride a lot of motocross, bike, and wakeboard when I can't ski. I race cars all year too, so that keeps me busy.

Mountain biking is about as close as you can get to skiing without touching the snow.  I like biking just as much as skiing, and will probably like it more once I get a little better. 

Aside from that, fly fishing and backpacking are sweet.  Then there's work to pay for all of it.

You live in the PNW and you are out of ideas? Hike, kayak, bike, camp, go rock climbing, rappel random shit, tramp, swim, hit up camp Muir on Rainer, ski Hood, long board, build a raft and fuck around on one off the 10,000 little ponds in the area, BBQ, build a rope swing...the list goes on. Theres almost nothing  better than the summer in the NW.
