Ski Season in July: Christmas in July... But Cooler

Who says ski season only happens when there's snow on the ground? Around here, we celebrate Ski Season in July.

Sure, the calendar insists it's summer. The neighbors are firing up grills. The beach crowd is doing beach crowd things. But deep down, every skier and snowboarder knows the truth: The stoke never melts.

At Ski Bum Coffee Co®, we're embracing a different kind of Christmas in July ...one powered by specialty coffee, campfire mornings, iced espresso creations, and enough mountain nostalgia to keep the winter spirit alive until the first flakes fly.

Because honestly? Christmas in July is fun. Ski Season in July is cooler.

The Official Rules of Ski Season in July

Rule #1: Talk about opening day as if it's tomorrow.
Rule #2: Watch ski edits at least twice a week.
Rule #3: Brew excellent coffee.
Rule #4: Convince your friends to join the madness.

That's why we're kicking off our Ski Season in July Refer-a-Friend Campaign.

Because coffee tastes better with friends ...and so do powder stories, gear debates, and wildly optimistic predictions about next winter's snowfall totals.

Bring another ski bum into the family, and let's keep the mountain spirit brewing all year long.

Meet the Legends: Gnarly Espresso & Snowboarder's Blend

Every great adventure needs dependable gear. These are ours.

Gnarly Espresso Blend ⚡

Big energy. No lift lines.

Our Gnarly Espresso Blend delivers a bold, rich profile perfect for early mornings, late nights, and every adventure in between. Whether you're pulling shots or pouring it over ice, this blend means business.

Think of it as your personal avalanche of caffeine—minus the safety briefing.

Snowboarder's Blend 🏂

Smooth. Slightly rebellious. Unapologetically fun.

With tasting notes of cocoa, caramel, and vanilla tones, Snowboarder's Blend is built for laid-back mornings, road trips, and conversations that somehow always circle back to that one epic storm from three years ago.

No one remembers whose story it actually was. That isn't important.

Iced Gnarly: Because Summer Happens

Fine. It's warm outside. We'll adapt.

Here are two of our favorite ways to keep Gnarly Espresso in rotation all summer long.

The Black Diamond Iced Latte

• 2 shots Gnarly Espresso
• Ice
• Your favorite milk
• Splash of vanilla syrup

Simple. Fast. Strong enough to motivate wax scraping in July.

The Alpine Affogato

• One scoop vanilla ice cream
• Fresh Gnarly Espresso poured directly over the top

Dessert? Coffee? Both?

Exactly. The best lines are often the ones that don't fit neatly on the trail map.

Campfire Coffee Hits Different

Summer evenings might not include a roaring lodge fireplace, but a campsite fire ring comes pretty close.

There's something magical about brewing coffee outdoors: The smell of pine. The crackle of the fire. The friend who insists they "definitely packed the mugs." (They did not.)

For camp mornings, Snowboarder's Blend shines beautifully in a French press or classic enamel percolator, delivering rich, comforting flavors that pair perfectly with mountain air and questionable campground breakfasts.

Honestly, burnt pancakes taste better with great coffee.

Science probably supports this.

The Stoke Doesn't Have an Off-Season

Winter may provide the snow, but summer gives us something equally valuable:

Time to dream. Time to explore. Time to reconnect with the people and rituals that make mountain culture special.

So put on a ski movie. Brew something exceptional. Invite a friend.

And celebrate Ski Season in July the only way that makes sense: With good coffee, great stories, and enough stoke to last until first chair.

Because while Christmas comes once a year... Being a ski bum is a full-time commitment.
