yes, it does. and, honestly, it is one of the more fun ways to enjoy the winter months (skiing included!)

that jumping out of an outdoor hot tub in freezing weather, getting a running start, hurling yourself into a snowbank wearing only a bathing suit, and then leaping back into the hot tub will burn like hell at first but then calm down your ski-weary muscles in that spa-style, hot-plunge-cold-plunge way?

It does.
