Skiing and surfing overlapped for a weekend at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, as the ski season ended June 1 and the new Silver Rapids Indoor Waterpark opened May 30.
The 42,000-square-foot indoor water park includes a FlowRider Surf Wave surfing machine, a family raft ride with a water slide, two enclosed tube slides, a lazy river, a spray deck for toddlers, an activity pool with basketball hoops, a watery obstacle course, and a multilevel play structure with a giant tipping bucket. For adults, there's a hot tub area with a bar.
The ski resort also offers outdoor summer activities, such as downhill mountain biking. Concerts scheduled for this summer include Ted Nugent on July 27 and Corbin Bleu from High School Musical on Aug. 2. The annual Microbrew Festival takes place Aug. 9. Fly-fishing in nearby lakes also is popular.
