Much like sleeping, skiing is highly enjoyable, works best if you ease into it, and can be harmful if done face down. Try your hand at both activities with today’s Groupon: for $170, you get a one-night ultimate ski, lodging, and meal package for two at the Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel in Wenatchee (a $335 value).

The Coast Wenatchee Center is a charming full-service high-rise hotel with well-kept amenities and easy access to the fabulous ski hills and other nearby attractions. Groupon users can take a much-needed life break with one-night accommodations for two (a value of $80 to $125) and two lift tickets to slither down the slopes at either Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort or Steven’s Pass (up to a $120 value). With the included late check-out time of 5 p.m. (a $50 value), guests can ease sore muscles and overworked ski-shaped feet the following day with an extended lounge in bed, a soak in the indoor pool or spa, or a bird-watching competition with the hotel concierge.

Because good skiing, like good scrapbooking, is reliant on a hearty breakfast and dedicated snacking, guests will also be treated to a full breakfast for two (a $15 value) and receive a $25 gift card to the Wenatchee Roaster & Ale House. The restaurant is known for its hand-rubbed, slow-roasted meats, more than 20 beers on tap, panoramic views of the Columbia River and Wenatchee Valley, and bring-your-own-dinner-companion policy.
