In www.cnn.com's Travel section, they feature various great "off-season" vacation ideas. In this article they talk a little about Steamboat Springs Colorado and the great outdoors activities around there in the summer.

Timeshares lend themselves well to off-season travel. Consider fall timeshare deals in the beautiful Northeast. You can catch the fall foliage in Vermont or New Hampshire quite easily and find affordable accommodations. Off-season timeshares are always offered at a huge discount - whether you want to buy one or rent. How else can you find a 2 bedroom condo in a 5 star resort for often less than $1,000? You can if you choose a timeshare.

For example, check out some of these "off season" timeshare deals at www.rentvacations.com :
