Mount Snow Summer & Fall Activities
Mount Snow is best known for its winter activities. However its best kept secret is summer and of course fall foliage is a truly special and spectacular time of year up here in the mountains of Southern Vermont.
Mountain Biking
The mountain crosses over from winter to summer by being one of the best mountain bike areas in New England. Try your luck riding up one of their mountain bike trails or choose to take the chairlift up to the top and ride all the way down. Off mountain there are also plenty of mountain bike trails for all abilities.

Swimming / Lake Access
There are a few public swimming pools available. Most require the purchase of food or drink but what a way to enjoy a hot summer day. Seasons on Mount Snow has its own Sports Center which includes an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. This is included in all short term rentals and a small additional fee for long term rentals.
Better yet, Harriman Reservoir (also known as Lake Whitingham) is just down the road. This beautiful pristine lake offers swimming, boat access, boat and jet ski rentals, kayaking, canoeing and more.
Lake Whitingham / Harriman Reservoir
