To the snowed-in, cabin-fevered East Coasters, powder-hungry West Coasters and Midwesterners stuck on flat land without a mountain in sight: we hear your plight! In answer to your winter ailments, we concocted eight spring-skiing remedies to alleviate the top eight most common winter ailments.

1. AILMENT: THE COMMON WINTER COLD

Spring-skiing remedy: Bask in the sun and snow at Beaver Creek, Colorado. The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek features a ski-in ski-out patio, swimming pool, and hot tubs to help you shake off that deep freeze from the winter months.

2. AILMENT: ACHING FOR ALTITUDE

Spring-skiing remedy: Stuck on flat land? Head to the Rockies and soak in the views from the Imperial Express, North America’s highest chairlift, at Breckenridge, Colorado. As an added bonus, Breckenridge’s high altitude means great late-season conditions.

3. AILMENT: WORK-RELATED STRESS

Spring-skiing remedy: If you’ve had your nose to the grindstone, escape to Park City, Utah, where you can maximize your time away from work by skiing the same day you land. In fact, the resort is only 35 minutes from Salt Lake City Airport.
