Winter Explosion is finalizing plans to return to the plush, 1st class
HUDSON VALLEY RESORT
and SPA: Set amid 400 acres of majestic landscapes and surrounded by the
fabled Shawangunk Mountains and adjacent to Minnewaska State Park in the
Catskills, this 4-Star resort has become like "home" to the WE Family.
Replete with expansive yet cozy Grand Lobby (with chandeliers and about
a dozen sofas), European Health Spa, Cigar Bar, 700-Seat Amphitheater
and other special features, this location is one you'll have to see
to believe!
Gazing out at the rolling hills and
mountainous landscape, it's hard to believe this resort is only 90
minutes from NYC. A recent multi-million dollar renovation allows Winter
Explosion guests to experience opulence. The massive,
lavishly-appointed, yet "cozy" lobby (with its own bar) is perfect for reunions with old Winter
Explosion friends, boy/girl watching or just chilling... around the
clock!
A full-service European Health Spa w/
separate men and women spas, free and universal weights, Jacuzzi,
saunas, onsite massage.
