5 ways to cure your snow hangover
We’re not even into the official first day of summer, yet, and already we’re dreaming of our next ski fix.
If the constant ringing and dinging of our guest services’ inbox is any indication, you must be dreaming of next year’s ski vacation, as well.
We call this a summer snow hangover.
It’s the cautionary aftermath of an extraordinary ski season. A summer snow hangover can be characterized by an aversion to lawn mowers, a fear of heat and humidity by 7 am, a dislike of scorching hot pavement, scars from the latest bug battle and a craving for the snow-filled thrills that a day on the golf course just can’t ever seem to match.
If you’ve been pining for our Instagram BBQ cam to showcase its latest bounty of snow as summertime awaits, you need to seek immediate attention as you could be diagnosed with a snow hangover, too.
The remedy? A heavy dose of snow-filled adventures to look forward to.
