Grammatically you could make it parallel this way:

The Bensons enjoy snow skiing in the winter,
sitting on benches in the spring,
and water skiing in the summer.

But would make more sense to re-think the content
of what we want to say about the Bensons.
In other words, sticking with the parallelism
is trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
