Lately all we can talk about here at the Gator is the emergence of the sun (finally) in the Northeast United States and the fact that summer is here (FINALLY)! But it only takes a few days of nice weather to banish the rainy blues, the mind starts wandering and the next thing you know you're dreaming about ski season again.

Not that we are ready for snow just yet of course but day-dreaming with a cool drink in one hand while soaking up the rays is almost the best of both worlds.

Of course if that isn't enough, the folks at Keystone have whipped up some summer snow fun. Keystone's Adventure Point is offering a couple of lanes of snow every Wednesday through Sunday this summer from 10 AM until as long as the snow lasts. Runs in the white stuff will set up back $25 for a one-hour tubing session with unlimited runs and including gondola rides up the mountain.

A bit pricey but hey, where else can you go tubing in the summer? (ok...South America...but where else?)

A tip o' the hat to Gadling for the heads up on this one.
