If you’re looking to ski throughout all four seasons, you’re going to either have to hike in the backcountry or you could head to the Southern Hemisphere. When resorts are closed in North America, going south is a great way to score some turns. Most of these resorts open in early June and stay open until our season begins here in North America.
