We’d hate for you to miss any moment of soaking time. PUT IT IN PARK Park City, My, How You’ve Grown   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. 411: Slated to open Nov 21, Park City Mountain Resort, 1345 Lowell Ave, Park City, UT, 800-222-7275 HELI FUN Skiing the Backcountry via Helicopter   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. 411: Waldorf Astoria, Park City, 2100 W Frostwood Dr, Park City, UT, 435-647-5550 HURTS SOAK GOOD Your New Hot Springs Oasis Awaits   This thermal water facility opened this summer in Glenwood Springs with 17 pools at temperatures reaching 108 degrees.

It’s either that or your cologne. 411: Feb 14-22, Breckenridge, 1599 County Rd 3, Breckenridge, CO, 970-453-5000 JOIN THE Q Now, a Little Something for the East Coast   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. 411: Opens Dec 11, Q Burke Mountain Resort, 223 Sherburne Lodge Rd, East Burke, VT, 866-966-4820 GET A PASS Contemporary Art Goes Downhill   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. 411: Opens Nov 26, Aspen Snowmass, 45 Village Run Cir, Snowmass Village, CO, 800-525-6200   UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
