Let's be honest, we're not easy on our bodies—our bodies take a beating, which is why it is so important to set aside time to relax and recover after long days on the mountain. One of the spas I recently visited, and absolutely love, is Spa Montage, located in the mountains at Deer Valley. Spa Montage takes care of you before you can even step one foot outside of your car. Valet parking makes it easy and convenient to make it to the spa on time with a relaxed mind. Or you could always cruise in from the slopes, click out of your skis and walk right into the tranquility of this oasis.
Many resort spas provide workout machines, yoga, and fitness classes to get your heart pumping and muscles moving. Spa Montage Deer Valley has a specific "Aprés Ski Stretch" class on their fitness schedule everyday at 4 pm. This is a great class to attend and stretch your hips, spine, legs, and feet after a day in ski boots.
After class, spa montage has amazing amenities to enjoy; luxurious couches in the relaxation room, indoor pool and hot tub, chilled cucumber washcloths, plush robes, steam room, and sauna to mention a few. The combination of this setting adds up to create a complete therapeutic sensation that you'll have to experience for yourself! There are many more services focused on mind, body, and wellness. Check out the couple's menu for a romantic treat this Valentine's Day!
