This article features several ski resorts in the U.S. Many of the top ski resorts in the U.S. are offering a much broader range of daytime and night time activities. Some resorts are trying to become full-service health spas. At the newly remodeled Vail Athletic Club, you can sample herbal wraps and Shiatsu and deep tissue massages. In between treatments you can swim, take an aerobics class, or even try the indoor rock-climbing wall. Once the sun sets on Vail, there are more than 90 restaurants. But the star is Beano's Cabin, a rustic place on the mountain high above Beaver Creek. Another ski resort is Sun Valley. It is famed for its ice skating and magnificent heated outdoor swimming pools, is making it easier for parents of young children to relax. Its Play School provides full-day, supervised programs. In the late afternoon you can enjoy an old fashioned high tea served in the ornate lobby of the Sun Valley Lodge. In New England, Vermont's Stratton Mountain has an indoor sports center with tennis and racquetball courts as well as swimming pools, steam rooms, and saunas. Farther north, Stowe retains all the charm associated with a New England country vacation. Among the best known of its inns is the Trapp Family Lodge. |
