You can catch a "do" Vibe here: You don t want to waste a minute, an hour or day, there s so much to do!

Summer days are long, thank goddess, because there's so much to do: hike, kayak, boat, zip lines, festivals, art galleries and more. But winter days are short, so when it snows you better be ready to get out there and snowshoe, fat bike, backcountry, alpine, Nordic or skate ski, ice skate, snow bike, cat, ATV, or even timbersled.* If you're not a “doer,” find a good view – it goes on without you!
