Think you have to go back home looking like a hunter after a week in the woods? Think again. A new spa in Steamboat Springs, Colorado is offering the ultimate Mountain Man Makeover to surprise your girlfriend or wife.
The service includes three primary services:
- A full, one-hour deep tissue or Swedish massage given by a top Steamboat Springs massage therapist.
- A manicure or pedicure to bring your hands or feet back to a clean, great state of being.
- A 60-minute European facial to give you a youthful and clean glowing appearance.
"We want the guys to go back home feeling and looking their best," says Pam Peretz, owner of All Season Wellness in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. "If they spend two to three hours with us during the day, we can help them really surprise their wife or girlfriend."
The latest fashion and health trends indicate that more men than ever are taking advantage of health services like this. "Massage clearly has therapeutic benefits, but we wanted to go a step further and help the guys clean up. Most gentlemen have never had a facial or a manicure for example, and we find that they really like it," Peretz continues.
The Mountain Man Makeover package is specially priced so just about everyone can afford it. But the lasting effect is priceless.

Hollywood? Who needs Hollywood! Several very talented locals starred in a photo shoot demonstrating various Steamboat Springs massage modalities at the Asian-infused All Season Wellness Day Spa in Steamboat Springs, CO.
Locals Katie Gill, Tiana Schwartzburg, Erin Orr, Neal Smyth and Scott Hetrick were brilliant in their roles as massage models. All Season Wellness team members Daniela Villa, Amanda Cass and Pam Peretz rounded out the modeling group.
In the photo shoot, orchestrated and shot by brilliant photgrapher Kim Keith, the models were placed in a variety of massage poses, including couples massage, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Thai Massage and Rue Si Datan stretching. Even 9-year old Justin Peretz got into the action as a model in the child massage photography.
"I couldn't be more excited about the talent and quality of the photography," stated Pam Peretz, C.E.O. of the Pamper Group and owner of All Season Wellness. "It really captures the essence of All Season Wellness. We're a very special, Asian-infused Day Spa in the middle of classic Western ski town. Kim Keith did an amazing job."
The photography will be used in a variety of ways, including publicity materials, on the All Season Wellness Web Site and in various marketing materials. "We want people to get a feel for the spa, and we also wanted it to be authentic. That's why we used real locals in the photo shoot. It doesn't get more real than that," Peretz continued.

The Steamboat Springs area and Northwest Colorado has some of the very best elk hunting in the United States and the World. If you're lucky enough to have your elk tag, you might be wondering what other things to do in Steamboat Springs after you're done hunting. Here's our list from a local's point-of-view:
- Go to The Tap House to watch your favorite football team. The Tap House in downtown Steamboat Springs at 729 Lincoln Ave. has all the satellite programming you could wish for, including NFL ticket, college games and more. It's funky downstairs location makes it a perfect spot to grab some grub and have a brew.
- Get a massage at All Season Wellness. This is Steamboat Springs premier massage facility, offering a variety of affordable deep tissue, Swedish and Thai massage specials. You can even surprise your wife or girlfriend by going for the Mountain Man Makeover before you return home, combining a great massage with a facial and a manicure or pedicure. Or, try A Calming Touch massage therapy. Both All Season Wellness and A Calming Touch have available outcall service to your location for an additional fee. Don't let your location limit you from a great health benefit and experience!
- Soak in the natural Strawberry Park hot springs a little out of town. Ask a local where the all natural hot springs are, and go for a soak with your buddies. It's a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience sure to soothe your aching body.
- Go golfing at Haymaker Golf course, almost a mile and a half above sea level. Amaze your friends with the distance you can drive (and slice) at this altitude. Haymaker is a great public course just a little south of town on Highway 40 headed towards Rabbit Ears Pass.
- Go grab some barbecue at the local's joint, Double Z Barbecue. Located one block off of Lincoln at 1124 Yampa Street, this is where the local's go for the best barbecue in Streamboat. Or, try the Steamboat Smokehouse, where you'll find some great mounts and you can throw peanut shells on the ground.
- Check out the local taxidermy shops in Steamboats. B & L Taxidermy at 1744 Lincoln does great work, as does All Seasons Taxidermy at 2354 Lincoln Ave. Both shops are a little north of town.
- Learn the history of the Yampa Valley at the coolest little historical museum in Northwest Colorado, the Tread of Pioneers museum located at 800 Oak Street, one street off the main drag of Lincoln Ave.

Getting all thai'd up in the wild, wild west is getting more popular than ever. A new day spa in Steamboat Springs, CO focuses on bringing the treasured Far Eastern art of Thai massage to a town more famous for skiing and rodeos than ying yang traditions.
Tom Rector was a Thai massage virgin. The ad executive from Los Angeles, CA came across a web site for All Season Wellness that touted a “new” massage technique that’s a combination of deep tissue acupressure and yoga/stretching. He didn’t really know what he was getting himself into, but he did know that his body could use a therapeutic massage and he saw an introductory special. After a two-hour treatment, he immediately re-booked a Thai massage for two days later.
“I’ve had my share of massages, but the Thai massage was by far the best I ever had,” Rector gushed. “I know I should stretch more, but my massage therapist got all the kinks out and made me feel better than I have in a couple of years. It was a pretty amazing transformation.”
Actually, the traditional art of Thai massage has been around for over two-thousand years, but not that well known in smaller mountain towns. The proprietor of the spa, Pamela Peretz, recently added the Thai massage modality to her massage therapy in Steamboat Springs after spending 50 days in Thailand learning at the official school of the world-renowned Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok. “It was an amazing experience, being able to learn where Thai massage originated, and with some incredible master teachers. I’m able to bring that authenticity back to Steamboat, in a series of over 100 deliberate steps in five major sequences.”
Rector goes on to say “It was a completely different experience. For one, the body work was performed on a comfortable mat on the floor, not on a traditional massage table. And I felt like I got all the benefits of a deep tissue massage, but with more stretching and a better end result. I didn’t want the massage to end. Two hours just flew by.”
But, is Thai massage for everybody?
“It’s really designed for someone in reasonably good health, with a certain amount of body mobility. It’s ideal for an active person like a runner, skier, biker or hiker. It’s the ideal massage for a relatively active person or a weekend warrior, or anyone that has done ever done yoga,” Ms. Peretz explains. “People who are used to a softer Swedish style massage, or are completely inflexible should probably not get a Thai massage”.
“I have to admit, I was stretched in ways I never have before during a massage,” commented Rob Newton of St. Petersburg, FL. “But after a week of biking, hiking and rafting, it was just what I needed. I just never knew this type of massage existed. I’ll definitely look around for a Thai massage the next time I need one.”
The Thai massage can be offered in one-hour, 90-minute and two-hour increments, but for the best results, a two-hour massage is recommended, especially if it is the first time receiving this kind of massage. And for those just not quite ready to get Thai’d up in the Wild West, rest assured. Thai massage, although growing in popularity, still represents only about 25% of overall spa services. Deep tissue massage, Swedish massage and other modalities still make up the majority of Ms. Peretz’s spa business.
