The Hot List: 2006 Ski & Snowboard Report
Supercharged Recharge
Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa

By Michael Roberts

After a few days of banging down icy East Coast bumps, the beer-and-Advil combo stops working. You need professional healing. The new daylong Skier Recovery Package at Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa, in Stowe, Vermont, includes a 50-minute deep-pressure rubdown with pain-relieving arnica-infused oil (oooh), a bio-maple facial to halt the Redfording of your mug (ahhhh), and access to two heated waterfalls and a Hungarian mineral pool (yes! yes!). The next day? It's back to brews and ibuprofen. $210; 800-253-2232, www.stoweflake.com
