Hola Emanuel
We tend to use it with no definite article:
En invierno voy a esquiar.
Generalmente voy a la playa en verano.
Using the article wouldn't be incorrect but more unusual.
Bear in mind though that when the season is the subject of the sentence, it does need the article.
Me gusta el verano, porque me encanta ir a la playa.
La primavera es mi estación favorita.
I hope this helps.

FYI -When I try to get to my deficient area (red ) on brainmap (which shates it querer future tense), I keep getting haber future tense.
Perhaps there's a little glitch in the hyperlink?

Hi Robert, thanks for letting us know about the issue, this was a badly configured redirect made when we split up a lesson to make it clearer, thanks for flagging it, it's fixed now.
