- Try Another Winter Activity. Especially during peak season, ski resorts towns usually have outdoor winter activities that you might enjoy. Whether it's ice skating, mushing with dogs or skijoring, snowshoeing, or hiking, most resort towns present these activities in a way that even the most novice athlete can enjoy.
- Take a Walk Around Town. If the ski resort you're visting has a town, take a walk. It's good exercise, and it's always fun to see what's going on around the town - you might even find something else to do while you're walking.
- Go Shopping. It's always fun to check out the local shops and boutiques. However, be careful about what you buy - don't let yourself forget that you'll have to pack it to bring it home.
- Don't Forget about Apres-Ski Activities. Many ski resorts offer apres-ski activities. Whether it's a concert, a dinner, or a club, check the daily events calendar of your resort and see if there's anything that interests you.
- Dine Out. While eating at a restaurant is probably one of the most obvious activities, don't limit yourself to the most popular areas. Drive around, and see what you can find.
- Visit a Spa. A spa is the perfect place to relax after a hard day of skiing. If you don't want to take a trip to the spa and your hotel has a hot tub or sauna, relax in the sauna and then head back to your hotel room for a good night's sleep.
- Try Another Skiing Discipline. If you have time, it can be a great experience to try another skiing style. For example, if you're a downhill skier, try cross country skiing or telemark skiing. Investigate your resort to see what they have to offer.
