Once the snow melts, Colorado’s long-est continually operated ski resort becomes a summer playground, and the new 10-pas-senger gondola takes visitors to mountaintop views and bike rides in just a few minutes. Downhill bikers flock to the resort for its ramps, jumps and top-to-bottom terrain, while the alpine slide sends summer sledders down the mountain on more than 3,000 feet of bobsled-like track. There’s also a climbing wall, giant maze, mini-golf, bungee trampolines and an events calendar full of music and beer festivals and kid-friendly outdoor movie nights. The town of Winter Park also bustles year-round — don’t miss free summertime concerts at Hideaway Park downtown. Or book a guid-ed rock-climbing excursion with Winter Park Adventure Quest in Fraser , an aerial adventure park with 24 challenge elements. Meanwhile, Snow Mountain Ranch has a grin-inducing summer tubing hill and other family activities. 2 FROM TOP: GRAND LAKE, ERIC LINDBERG; WINTER PARK RESORT, CONNOR WALBERG.
