How to Celebrate Ski Season Without Snow (Yes, We’re Serious!)

Alright, folks — the Rockies are blazing under the summer sun, Pikes Peak is dusted with green instead of white, and your skis are hanging out in the garage, wondering if they’ve been forgotten forever. But who says ski season has to end just because the snow melted? Not us! It’s time to crank up the wild and outrageous and celebrate ski season Rocky Mountain style, summer edition.

Here’s the deal: When you can’t ski, you hike. When you can’t ski, you drink the whiskey that feels like skiing. And when you can’t ski, you get your crew together at the local swimming hole in Colorado Springs to raise a glass of St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey — the bold, veteran-owned, Rocky Mountain whiskey that keeps the ski spirit alive year-round.

Step 1: Trade Your Skis for Hiking Boots (But Keep Your Whiskey Close)

Summer in Colorado means the trails are calling. Lace up those hiking boots, pack a flask of St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey, and hit the hills. Whether you’re trekking up to catch the sunrise on Pikes Peak or exploring secret local trails near Golden and Colorado Springs, your trusty flask is your new best friend.

Sipping St. Bernard on a sun-drenched summit? That’s the real après-ski vibe. Bonus points if you tell everyone it’s the “official whiskey of the snowless ski season.” Because why not?

Step 2: Host a “No-Snow Ski Party” at the Local Swimming Hole

Bring your ski crew together and declare an end-of-season bash at your favorite local swimming hole — the perfect spot to cool off and keep things wild and local. Deck the place out with ski poles, helmets, and whatever white stuff you can find (fake snow, anyone?). Then, crank up the music and raise a glass of St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey — a whiskey crafted right here in Colorado Springs, by vets who know what rugged mountain life is all about.

Serve it neat, on the rocks, or mixed into some daring summer cocktails. Because even when the snow’s gone, the party doesn’t stop.

Step 3: Invent Your Own “Rocky Mountain Summer Ski Games”

Who says ski games are only for snow? Challenge your friends to “ski jumps” off picnic tables, boot tosses, or a slalom race through the hiking trail markers. Keep your flask handy — winner gets a shot of St. Bernard, naturally.

Add some legendary stories about epic ski runs, snowball fights, and that one time someone wiped out spectacularly on Pikes Peak. Laughter + whiskey = the ultimate snowless ski season cure.

Step 4: Toast to the Veterans and the Mountains That Inspire Us

Here’s the real reason we raise a glass to St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey. It’s veteran-owned, locally distilled, and made with the rugged, bold spirit of the Rockies — the same spirit that keeps skiers coming back year after year, no matter the weather.

So while you’re hiking, toasting, and goofing off this summer, remember you’re honoring a legacy of service and passion right here in the heart of Colorado.

Snow or No Snow, The Ski Season Lives On!

Sure, the slopes are bare, but the ski lifestyle never melts away. Whether you’re hiking those mountain trails, swapping stories at the local swimming hole, or savoring a glass of St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey by a summer campfire, you’re celebrating what it truly means to be part of the Rocky Mountain ski tribe.

So grab your flask, gather your friends, and keep the ski season alive — because with St. Bernard Mountain Whiskey, the party never ends.

Cheers to sun, trails, and whiskey-fueled memories — from Colorado Springs to the top of Pikes Peak!
