No. The seasons are not capitalized unless they are included in a title.
based on Fowler's "modern English usage" --
The official grammatical answer is:
When a season-word [ summer, fall ] is used as a noun, its usage makes it a proper noun, that is a "name" for a time period, like "the Bronze Age" is a name used to name a time period. So, in the sentence "I will return to school in the Fall," the season word is the name (by definition all names are proper nouns in English) of that period of time, and so it is capitalized.
But season-words are also used as adjectives. "The summer line of sun dresses." Or, "the winter movie schedule." Since in this situation the season words are not nouns -- they are adjectives which modify nouns -- they cannot be Proper nouns; they are no longer names. And so should not be capitalized.
But the unofficial "what people actually do" answer is:
In typical written English, people are tending to avoid capitalization. Newspapers and publishers prefer things simple as well. So the trend is not to capitalize season words, especially as readers understand the meaning either way. And when usage changes, the official grammatical answer does too -- eventually.
