andrewsmartChile, new zeland, Australia, etc. if you are willing to make it a big trip.
will.mackokay thanks is there any places other than hood in north america?
OregonDeadBeartooth Basin. It's been on my bucket list for a while.
Last summer I skied a couple days at Mt. Bachelor in July and it was super fun but I think they've only had snow for that like 8 times ever so keep your eyes open. Hood is fun but I have a Timberline pass all year so I'm not that stoked to buy a day pass but yeah I've never regretted it. I skied Palmer in August and on Labor Day last summer and both were very good days. Squaw will stay open if they have snow. I went there last June right before summer and it was fun. Mammoth is rad I was there on the Summer solstice and it was totally worth the drive.
Ski all year OP!
theabortionatorNZ/Aus, South America, Southern Africa
Other than hood, Beartooth basin for the lower 48. Also the woodwards and maybe a few other things.
I've never been to Beartooth but probably going for a couple weeks this year.Was going to go 3 years ago but they didn't open.
johnblazeSave up and go to a camp in Whistler. Some of the most fun I have ever had. You will not regret it.
will.macki know it looks super fun it’s just a lot of money idk if i could afford it for a while cuz i just have a minimum wage job in summers rn. do you know if whistler has a public park in summer? it’d be nice to go there cuz i could stay in canada
johnblazeYa there is a public park but it's not great. You're still gonna need lodging and food, so camp is nice cause it's all inclusive.the public park was really sick last summer, way better than its been in previous years. dont sleep on it
Well Europe defently got a few glaciers with a park open in summer.We also got a few dozen of indoor skihals across all Europe, but most snowpark can't be compared to those on the glaciers, except Snow Dome Bispingen.
Les Deux Alpes, France
Open from June 23rd till August 26th
http://summer.les2alpes.com/en/ski-area-summer.html
This has to be the most popular French Glacier in Summer. I've been her a few times with Easter, never in summer but a couple of mates do. It's a decent park in the French Alpes, the setup is clean and has a variety of lines based on your riding level. The only downside will be the weather, those bluebird days will transform the park in slush even before noon, so you won't be able to ski/ski long in the afternoon.
Tignes, France
No available opening dates yet, but it should be from the start of July till the start of August

Saas-Fee, Switzerland

Hintertux, Austria
Open from April 6th till June 3rd)
https://www.hintertuxergletscher.at/en/highlights/ski-and-fun/betterpark-hintertux/
I've only visited Hintertux once (early autumn) but as far as I can tell the park is dope and the vibes are good. I'll would take a jacket with me if I wher you cause the park lays in the shadow till 10am - 11 am.
Folgefonna, Norway
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/897688/WHAT--SUMMER-CAMP-2016
Open from the 3rd week of May till the end of July

Snow Dome Bispingen, Germany
Open from the start of June till the end of September
http://www.snow-dome.de/skihalle/snow-park/
The most interesting and biggest indoor skislope I've ever visited. Their park is just astonishing, so many different rails.If you ever plan on going there just go for it, you won't regret it. If you like thing crowded then the best moment for a visit would be during the Summer Park Opening or the Summer Feast.
chef_boyardeethe public park was really sick last summer, way better than its been in previous years. dont sleep on it
chef_boyardeethe public park on blackcomb is one of the more affordable options out there

andrewsmartThe thing about the blackcomb summer park is it may not be as big, but there is a crap ton of stuff to do in whistler in the summertime.
