For afterski, I felt like I needed a shower. But maybe not just that... perhaps a sauna, or a dip into a pool. How about the divine thermal bath waters of Zámecké Lázně in the nearby Karlovy Vary?
It was divine. Very smooth, nice water.
Karlovy Vary is by the way a great find. I had not heard about it before, but it feels like a historic city center with grand buildings, except that it is tiny, and the buildings are lodged in a small valley, hidden from view. Yet, it is wonderful, and packed with spas and thermal baths.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world. See the other Planetskier blog articles about skiing, caving, urban exploration, climbing, cycling, flying, swimming, and saunas.
