...summered among the island's rolling moors and scrub pine. Small cottages rent for from $100 to $150 for each person per week during the season, and better furnished or better located houses run considerably higher. One lucky schoolteacher who pays $135 a month for the house during the winter months sublets it for $1,000 a month during the summer...
...battalions of generals and retired generals. Actually, though it maintains an agreeably old-fashioned air of opulence which approaches that of the best lodges in Switzerland and Scandinavia, the Broadmoor is not strictly a mountain resort but a vast complex designed to offer something for everybody, summer or winter. Besides such standard accouterments as a lake for waterskiing, swimming pools, a 36-hole golf course, ski slopes, riding and hiking trails, it has an ice palace, a stadium, a 2,400-seat theater where such stars as Helen Traubel and Maurice Chevalier entertain nightly, and even a zoo. It also...

The result is that although the city has something approaching summer all year long, the surrounding area still is heavily stocked with summer resorts...
Since so many Northerners trek south for the winter, it would seem reasonable for Southerners to migrate north in the summer. But comparatively few of them do. More often, Southerners simply go to the same resorts Northerners visited during the winter?and they enjoy them just as much, perhaps more. The prevailing breezes wafting across beaches are often more appreciated in the summer than the winter. The result is that a steady summer flow of Southerners (and Northerners taking advantage of reduced rates) keeps some Southern resorts busy all year long...
