We stepped out of our hiking boots and into something a little cooler (literally) for our another Alpine Swim Club collab—this time with our friends at PLUNJ, Salt Lake’s Nordic-inspired cold plunge and sauna spa.
Let’s just say: if you’ve never bonded with other women while voluntarily submerging yourself in 45-degree water… you’re missing out.
The experience was equal parts rejuvenating and energizing. We rotated between the cozy heat of the sauna and the icy jolt of the plunge, giving our bodies a reset and our minds a moment to breathe. There’s something about stepping outside your comfort zone—together—that builds connection fast.
Laughter echoed in the sauna. Deep breaths anchored us in the plunge. And in between? Sips of LiquidIV, shared stories, and the unspoken magic of women showing up for themselves and each other.
What we loved most? The stillness. The space. The reminder that rest and recovery are just as important as adventure and adrenaline.
Huge thanks to the amazing crew at PLUNJ for guiding us through the Nordic cycle and creating such an intentional, welcoming space. And to all the GOATs who showed up—some nervous, some excited, all brave—you made it what it was: unforgettable.
More Local GOAT wellness collabs are coming soon, because this community isn’t just about hiking—it’s about whole-body adventure. And sometimes, that starts with a deep breath and a cold plunge.
