Hi guys!

I am just curious what are all the places you can ski at in the summer?

I googled it and couldn't find a solid answer.

I know the following:
-Whistler
-Mt hood
-Woodward at Copper & Tahoe
-Chile
-Beartooth

*I know some of them are only open for 1/3-1/2 of the summer.

Word.

There's a bunch of glaciers in europe, not to mention all the fridges and dryslopes.

-Woodward at Copper & Tahoe
-Beartooth
-Mammoth, Snowbird, A Basin, sometimes extend their seasons to July 4th or later.

In europe off the top of my head.

Austria - Hintertux, Dachstein, Kauternal
France - Les Deux Alpes, Tignes, Val T (maybe?) and a couple others
Switzerland - Saas-Fee, Zermatt
Italy - Schnalstal (spelling?)
Norway - Folgefonna (spelling?)

Going skiing in the Tetons tomorrow. You can still build jumps just off the pass here too. Beartooth Pass opens in just over a week, where there's plenty to ski with very little hiking. Lift access is for the weak.

Word. If we were to list the places you can hike and ski all summer this list would be giant. Just Montana and Wyoming alone have hundreds or thousands of residual snowfields, just depends on how hard you want to work for it.

People seem to be forgetting that europe is also in the northern hemisphere.

Europe:

Austria: Pretty much only Hintertux for the whole summer, and i'm not sure if they actually close their park at one point, think they do.
France: Les 2 Alpes, Tignes.

Switzerland: Saas Fee, Zermatt.

Italy: Val Senales/Schnalstal

There might be others that have skiing, but these are the ones with legit parks.

The Beartooths build a park in the summer time, it is usually good from early June to late June or early July. The park will be good around the Beartooth Summer Session.

Alaska has a few mountains open. I know Chile, Argentina, Australia, France, Switzerland and New Zealand all have lift accessed skiing. In USA/Canada have Beartooth in the beggining summer, usually A-Basin until the 4th along with Snowbird, Mammoth, Mt Bachelor and some other Tahoe ones all until the 4th. There is also the summer camps and public resorts on Whistler and Mt Hood as well as Woodward @ Copper and Woodward @ Tahoe.

If I may ask, why do you want to know? It would be sick to see a DTF edit from a summer mountain!

There's no way, I went there a few years ago in the middle of July and skied. And there website doesn't indicate a closing date anytime soon, and i can't imagine that people can't ski it even if they did close because its a glacier and they run that gondola for tourists.
