The powder fades, and a different kind of fun ramps up at Colorado’s ski resorts.

This century has seen the industry increasingly vie for year-round destination status. The latest and greatest developments spot this state’s Rockies — amusements for families, underappreciated views for sightseers and singletrack for serious mountain bikers.

As ski areas shift to summer mode this month, here’s a quick guide to some top attractions:

Arapahoe Basin

The standout: The Legend skis into summer, but recent years have seen some additions for when the snow finally melts. Most striking: the via ferrata (“iron way”) said to be the highest in North America. The iron hand- and foot-holds ascend toward 13,000 feet. Half day and full day tours range between $100-$150.

What else: Starting near 12,500 feet by the same-name chairlift, the Beavers Loop is a fast descent serving as a “little brother” to Lenawee Trail elsewhere on the mountain. Without a lift running to the top, mountain bike riders have been earning their turns.

Aspen Snowmass

The standout: You don’t have to sign up for the Power of Four race to enjoy the event’s super scenic trails and dirt roads across the resort’s four mountains. One, Aspen Mountain, describes its public hiking trails as “flower-laden,” while the top of Buttermilk offers a can’t-miss view of Pyramid Peak. Aspen Highlands, meanwhile, offers reserved shuttle rides to an even more signature view: Maroon Bells Scenic Area.

What else: Snowmass Bike Park boasts 25 miles of trails and 3,000 vertical feet. Also based at Snowmass is Lost Forest, the wooded family zone of ziplines, ropes courses, a fishing pond and more.

Copper Mountain

The standout: If you’re wondering what the alpine coaster craze is all about, the one here might be your best introduction. It’s claimed to be the continent’s second-longest one ($35 tickets). Copper also separates itself with Woodward, an action sports complex that includes a hike-to park for year-round skiing and snowboarding Friday-Sunday ($25).

What else: $79 day pass accesses the coaster, go karts, bumper boats, ninja obstacle course and bungee trampoline. Also hiking, mountain biking and 18-hole golf course.

Crested Butte

The standout: We’ll call it two-fold — a 20-target archery course and 18-hole disc golf course, the likes of which you rarely find at such gorgeous elevations. One can either hike to the courses or pay for a lift ride. Practicing hunters bring their own bows, sign a waiver and take aim at prop animals set along a mile-plus loop. Disc golfers also bring their own gear and choose their own adventure.

What else: 30-plus miles of lift-served mountain bike trails, an enticing hike to the top of Mount Crested Butte and a family-fun adventure park.

Purgatory Resort

The standout: The San Juan Mountains’ old mining routes are synonymous with off-roading. The Durango resort partners with Colorado Outback Adventures to provide an experience, with ATV and UTV rentals taking to trails climbing out of the base. Buggies ranging from two to six seats are priced at $225-$350.

What else: Summer day tickets, depending on age, range from $30-$50 and grant access to the mountain coaster, alpine slide, kids’ go-kart track and boarding and boating on Twilight Lake.

Telluride

The standout: If you lack climbing know-how and your own equipment, you’ll want to book a guide for the via ferrata. If you lack bravery, you’ll want to stay away completely. It’s an epic walk along this “road of iron” high on the sheer, rugged faces of the town’s enveloping box canyon. The route spans 500 feet above the valley floor.

What else: If heights closer to 150 feet sound better, check out the ziplines, bridges and rappels at Telluride Canopy Adventure. Like the ski terrain, the singletrack of Telluride Bike Park leans advanced.

Vail Mountain

The standout: Adventure Passes start at $149, the ticket to a picturesque playground atop Eagle Bahn Gondola. Along with the zipline and bungee trampoline, kids and kids-at-heart are thrilled by the 3,400-foot Forest Flyer Mountain Coaster and tube hill dropping 550 feet.

What else: Vail fancies its varied hiking trails worthy of a seven-day pass. For free, a naturalist occasionally leads hikes from the mountaintop Nature Discovery Center. Also guided fly fishing on Gore Creek and the public, 18-hole course at Vail Golf Club.

Winter Park

The standout: As ski areas continue to expand lift-served mountain bike trails, enthusiasts have long pointed to Trestle Bike Park as the standard. The slope-side park is a smorgasbord of flowy green, intermediate blue and technical black lines, with some cross-country parts open to hikers as well. Advanced tickets $67.

What else: The resort sells a 90-minute e-bike tour that spans the mountains and a gentler one that cruises around the lower river valley ($69). Also a guided hike through the alpine, a climbing wall, ropes course and 18-hole putting course.
