Spas are steaming and bubbling in Park City as festival goers and skiers submerge and steep after a day outside in the mountains

Okay to be in Hot Water
When you get so cold your bones need warming up, there’s nothing like a long luxurious soak in steaming hot water. Today I’m going to feature spas (or hot tubs as we used to call them in the early more rough and ready days of Park City).
Old Town is quintessentially Park City to me with its narrow lots and vestiges of Park City’s mining past. This Old Town home has a spa and hot tub on the ground floor that looks out to a creek. (Jon DeGray, architect).
The spa is raised up and separated from the fire pit gathering spot.
If you are one of the fortunate to stay at the Goldener Hirsh at Deer Valley in the winter, the rooftop pool and spa look out to the runs.
Let’s see if you can spot the spa in this view to the addition to the Goldener Hirsh. A hint: look to the top of the building above the glassed-in walkway that leads to the original portion of the hotel. (Olson Kundig and Think Architects and Okland Construction.)
Perched on the top of a Main Street condominium, bathers can look out to the happenings below while enjoying a high degree of privacy. (Diamond Pools and Spas)
The opening shot features this spa in a newly completed Promontory home. At night, one can look up and watch for falling stars. (Spa by Koala Pools)
Drawing further back, you can see the context of the spa in the outdoor living space adjacent to an open-planned living, dining, and kitchen with glass doors that completely retract for maximum connections to the outdoors.

Glass walls and a consistency of materials give a relaxing simplicity to the outdoor living design of this Promontory home. (Michele King, interior design; James L Carroll & Associates; Scharpf Construction; and Diamond Pools and Spas)
The beauty of the mountain setting in the upper portion of the Colony just takes my breath way. The spa is positioned to take full advantage of the views. (Jaffa Design Build, architects; and JOC Construction)
This angle offers a view of the spa in context of the home. The spa is located off the primary bedroom but accessed also by the patio.Â
The spa becomes a cascading water feature in the terraced garden of this Bald Eagle home. (Marian Rockwood, interior designer; Upwall Design, architect; Midway Construction; and Koala Pools)
I hope this inspires you to find someplace wonderful to celebrate winter without the cold. I hope to find you plunging and marinating in your own or a friend’s spa.
