Ski season is upon us. Well, it’s gaining on us, at least. So before you head off, we want to make sure you have a road map to the newest developments in slopes, skiing and, of course, hot springs. We’d hate for you to miss any moment of soaking time.
Funny what $50 million can do. In the case of Park City: it’s turned two resorts (Park City and Canyons) into one massive resort with 7,300 skiable acres, eight-person high-speed gondolas and a new 500-person restaurant. Other than that, though, it’s still totally down-to-earth.
Of course, if you’re not the down-to-earth type, the Waldorf Astoria, Park City is rolling out something called the Wasatch Extreme, a two-day excursion involving Range Rovers, heli-skiing, a distillery tour and massages. Just your typical James Bond kind of stuff.
This thermal water facility opened this summer in Glenwood Springs with 17 pools at temperatures reaching 108 degrees. It’s just the thing to soothe your Aspen-induced owies, because it’s good to have a hot tub break on the way to the airport.
If you’re at Breckenridge in February and happen to wonder why there are so many women around, well, it’s probably just because it’s their first-ever Women’s Ski Week, with female-centric ski events, movie nights and wine tastings. It’s either that or your cologne.
Oh, Vermont—you and your sticky maple syrup, your salty senators and your new $50 million hotel and conference center. The latter will house a beer den, a sports lodge, an arcade, pools and fireplace-equipped rooms. We’re sure you’ll find time to ski while you’re there.
Aspen Snowmass is offering an edition of four Takashi Murakami–designed lift passes this year. That’s all. We just thought you’d like to know. No, they’re not that big of a deal. Well, not until after you visit a dispensary and look really hard at them. Then... whoa.
