Spa-Hopping In Quebec

There’s the kind of spa experience where you’re totally swaddled, then there’s something a little more demanding. “When was the last time you hopped in an icy cold river surrounded by snow?” asks Sue Frause, a writer and photographer from Whidbey Island, Washington, who reports on four different spas in Quebec’s great ski center, the Laurentians. Alternating hot and cold baths is great for detoxification, but if it sounds a bit much, you can always slip into a hot bath after a day on the slopes.
