Glenwood Springs, Colorado (Vocus/PRWEB) November 23, 2010
The snow has been falling fast and furiously in the mountain and hot springs resort town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Due to the recent snow accumulations, Sunlight Mountain Resort announced it will be opening earlier than originally anticipated. Top that good news off with lodging and activity packages that give winter visitors even more choices and it promises to be a winter of epic proportions. Glenwood Springs’ perennially popular Ski Swim Stay packages have attained legendary status.
For nearly two decades, Glenwood Springs, located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, has combined skiing at Sunlight Mountain Resort, soaking at Glenwood Hot Springs and sleeping at one of the many comfortable lodges scattered throughout the town. But now visitors can add even more recreational opportunities to their stays in Glenwood Springs. In addition to skiing and swimming, guests can explore Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park with Ski Swim Play or relax with a post-slope muscle soothing massage with Ski Swim Spa starting at $99 per night, per person beginning on November 24.
“Hands down Ski Swim Stay is Glenwood Springs’ most popular winter package. It has everything our visitors want: quality lodging, exceptional attractions and of course classic Colorado skiing. It all adds up to a great value, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer more options,” said Lindsey Lewis, Vice President of Tourism Marketing for the Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association.
With Ski Swim Stay, visitors ski at Sunlight Mountain Resort and kids 12 and under ski free with the purchase of an adult full-day lift ticket (not available December 26 – January 2). Sunlight Mountain Resort is only a short twenty minute drive, or visitors can hop on Sunlight’s daily shuttle bus which makes stops at many Ski Swim Stay lodges and drops guests at the base of the mountain. From there it’s easy to explore the 470 acres of varied downhill terrain. Afterward, relax with a soak at Glenwood Hot Springs, the world famous outdoor hot mineral springs pool, open daily until 10:00 PM. Soothe tired muscles in the Therapy Pool or splash and get in a few laps in the enormous pool that is a length equivalent of two city blocks.
By choosing the Ski Swim Play package, guests get the opportunity to play and explore Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, plus receive discounts on lodging, lifts, hot springs, rentals and more. The caverns provide a fascinating look at a pristine underground world, and topside, numerous rides, games and activities including a 4-D ride theater, alpine coaster, and laser tag arena keep the whole family engaged.
For those seeking a bit of serenity, choose the Ski Swim Spa options and indulge in spa treatments that will melt away stress, relieve ski-sore muscles, and restore balance to mind and body. Glenwood Springs is home to many spas including Spa of the Rockies known for organic, mineral-rich treatments, Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves, one of the town’s most historic spas, Splendor Mountain Spa where watsu treatments are the specialty, and La Provence Spa with its emphasis on Mediterranean treatments.
At the end of the evening head back to the hotel or lodge for a comfortable, restful night’s sleep.
