Where are your summer holidays taking you? Have you scored a classic Alberta or BC road trip yet? Spent time on the beaches, alpine trails or powwow grounds in Western Canada? 

We're all about living on Zen time in the summer. But this is also the time of season when it's worth reminding yourself the summer is quickly rushing by and now is the time to get after it. 

From the latest summer weather update to feature stories on new experiences and those FOMO-flavoured social posts from our adventurous ambassadors, here's another jolt of inspo to fuel your plans. 

Let's get you re-set, ready and on the road again, with a ZEN Q&A to cue your A to move.

Where to go for your next great summer adventure? 

Some time in the summer, it's common to hit a lull. Between one trip and the next, maybe the heat hits and you power down. In those moments, a little inspiration can go a long way to get you moving again. 

Here's a few ideas.


Score easy alpine adventures at ski resorts all summer

Many Alberta and BC ski resorts are filled with summer activities, from via ferrata to downhill mountain biking, lift-accessed hiking and more. Check out this story on our partner site SnowSeekers.ca for details.

Learn and level up

Another thing we love to do in summer is learn new skills, find new places to adventure and just overall level up our adventure game, with the help of our always-on ambassador crew.
