Located at higher elevations, ski areas typically have cooler temperatures than the surrounding lowlands due to decreased atmospheric pressure. Generally, for every 1,000 feet gained in elevation, a drop in temperature of 3.6°F can be expected, although weather conditions and humidity can change this lapse rate. For this reason, mountainous areas can offer relief for those looking to cool off during the summer.
