Ice Fishing Too Easy for You?

After we heard about the ski doctor at the St. Regis Aspen, we started wondering what else might be shakin' in the St. Tropez of the Rockies. And leave it to the hotel to fill us in on all the alternatives to sussing down the slopes--there are plenty.

The staff would be happy to set you up with some snowshoeing or snowmobiling excursions, but the winter fly fishing snagged our attention. It really doesn't get much more extreme than angling while standing in rushing water cold enough to kill you if you fall in. Head out with the crew from Aspen Outfitting Company who have the gear and the expertise to make sure that doesn't happen.

Then again, if you're not keen on hooking fish while standing in freezing streams (you're not!?), check out the spa at the St. Regis. You can still get your active on Tuesday through Saturday with a $20 yoga class at 9 a.m.--early enough to be hitting the slopes the same day.
