What to do in summer to help skiing and keep me entertained

Skate, Blade, Build a summer setup, build rails, hit the summer setup, go swimming, longboard, bike, make money working, change up your daily routine, go camping, go on a road trip, take pictures, practice editing skills from previous shots of pictures and videos, go to a summer camp, find a new hobby, read a book, go cliff/bridge jumping, rearrange your room, learn to draw, learn an instrument, go into a coma, pick up fat chicks near the harbor

Mountain Unicycling helps build core strength.

And it's dope.

Was gonna say a lot of skills from mountain biking translate well into skiing...but i bet mountain unicycling would be even better if you had the balls/patience to learn!

Balls of steel are needed, they can be mashed easily with out the support of standing and handlebars like on a bike.

Go to mt hood oregon, I go there evey 2-3 years, skiing throught the summer, lots of rails and jumps
 
Best things by far are backpacking, rock climbing and mountain biking. Getting out on the trails is the most amazing thing and checking out the backcountry in the summer is always a fun little thing to do, maybe do a couple summits of sick peaks and just look at sick lines you can ski in the winter that you never will
 
This summer my plan is to get into aggresive inline skating... Honestly looks hella sick and fun. Rollerblading in general I think is great for your ski legs... But I think the ability to grind takes it next level

Hang loose

Its harder than it looks, and is significantly different that regular rollerblades... beware

Get a slack line, its really fun and is probably good for balance

I second this! Also just remembered, if you have access, try getting up to Mammoth or another mountain that is open well into the summer, always the sickest thing ever to be skiing in the summer
 
Go on your tramp knowing absolutely nothing and jump 3 hours a day for a full summer. Then learn every trick in the book + grabs and end the Sumer with horrid back pain like me.

Never regret
