White Glove Installation
From simple placement to full setup, we’ve got you covered.
For the ultimate hands-off experience, our White Glove Delivery includes full professional assembly, so your sauna is ready to use right away. Handled by our trained 2-person teams with a scheduled 4-hour appointment window and customer signature at delivery.
Our Room of Choice Delivery ensures your Solara is safely carried into your home (including stairs and apartments), placed exactly where you want it and unpacked —assembly not included.
Do I need Room of Choice Delivery if I live in an apartment or have stairs?
Yes. If your building has stairs or requires carrying the sauna beyond ground-level entry, Room of Choice Delivery is required to ensure safe handling.
What’s the difference between Room of Choice and White Glove Delivery?
Room of Choice includes delivery to the room of your choice, unpacking and placement. White Glove includes all of that plus full assembly, so your Solara is ready to use the same day.
VS
How long does the delivery service take?
Both services include up to 30 minutes of delivery time. White Glove assembly is completed within that window, so you can enjoy your sauna right away.
•The wrist is the most commonly injured body part in snowboarders, mostly from falls.
•Heat does not prevent or treat fall injuries.
•Recreational snowboarding is vigorous exercise, measured at about 7.4 METs in one small study.
•Heat after a day of riding supports recovery and supports sleep.
01
Every snowboarder knows the fall is coming.
The edge you catch on a flat run. The hand you put down without thinking. That is where most snowboarding injuries come from, and heat does nothing for a fall. Wear wrist guards.
Over eighteen seasons at one Vermont resort, the wrist was the most injured part of a snowboarder, at 27.6% of all injuries. In a ten-year study in Sweden, more than half of snowboard injuries were to the upper body.

What heat is for is everything else. In one small study, recreational snowboarding measured about 7.4 METs, which is vigorous exercise, and half of all US ski area visits are made by season pass holders who come back day after day.
The fall is one moment. Your legs ride every run.

Most of it is falls. The rest is the legs you rode on all day.
02
It's not an injury. It's day three.
It is Sunday's first run on legs that were still burning from Saturday. The lunch break that turned into two. The last lap you skipped.
Monday, taking the stairs at work one at a time. Nobody logs sore quads. Nobody plans the evening between two mountain days. The answer is not another run.
Day onefirst chair to last
Day twolegs gone by lunch
Day threethe one you paid for
Logged as injurynone of it
None of that goes in your log. It just comes back every weekend of the season.
03
A hot tub if the condo has one. A beer if it doesn't.
You stretch your quads against the car in the parking lot. You sit in the hot tub if the rental has one. You foam roll when something already hurts.
You sleep badly after the first day and clip in again at first chair.
That is not a criticism. It is what almost everyone does.
Your days on the mountain have a plan. Recovery gets whatever is left over.
Everything you own for this already lives in a corner of the garage.

Minutes after
In a 2023 trial, athletes sat in an infrared sauna for twenty minutes straight after a hard resistance training session. Compared with resting, they reported less muscle soreness and felt more recovered.
It was sixteen people, and they were basketball players, not snowboarders. In a separate randomised trial, 47 inactive adults added fifteen minutes of sauna straight after exercise for eight weeks, and came out ahead of the exercise-only group on cardiorespiratory fitness and systolic blood pressure. Not every study agrees. The ones that helped put the heat in the same place: after.
This is not instead of riding. It is the fifteen minutes after.

05
Heat after the longest day of your season.
A hot tub heats the water around you. Full spectrum infrared warms your body directly: the quads, the knees and the lower back you just held in a crouch all day.
Your heart rate climbs. Your blood vessels open. You sweat. That is the mechanism, and it supports recovery without anybody promising you a better run.
Heart rate rises
Warms you directly
83.5%
of 482 sauna users said they slept better afterwards.
That is a survey, not a trial. It is also where recovery actually happens.

The bonus
The hardest part of red light therapy is standing in front of it.
You're already sitting down.
A panel costs three hundred to two thousand dollars on its own, and the protocol is standing still in front of it several times a week. Nobody does that after a day on the mountain. You will sit down after one.
It is in the back wall. Not an upsell, not an attachment, not a subscription.
Source: Red light is a built-in feature. Most red light research places the light directly on the muscle at a measured dose, which is not the same as a panel inside a sauna, so we make no recovery claim for it. It does not treat an injury.

Every day on the mountain gets fifteen minutes.
It takes about fifteen minutes to warm up. Turn it on as you pull into the driveway, and it is ready by the time the gear is off. Drink water first, then sit.

A corner, or a closet.
About thirty minutes to put together. One person. No tools, nothing drilled, a regular household outlet. The Solara fits adults up to 6 foot 8 seated, and at 63 inches tall outside it clears a standard doorway. The Solara if you have a corner, a spare room or a garage next to the boards. The Pulse PRO if you do not: it folds into a carry bag and lives in a closet, or goes in the car to the cabin.

Turn it on when I pull in, sit in it once the gear is off. That is the whole trick. I have done more recovery in two months than in five years of owning a foam roller.

Sleep after day two is the difference
Sunday nights after a weekend up there used to be restless. They are not now. Four stars because I wish it warmed up faster than fifteen minutes on cold mornings.

Good, but measure your doorway
No complaints about the sauna itself and my legs feel better the day after a weekend on the mountain. Three stars because getting the boxes round the turn at the top of my stairs was a job.

No. Standard advice is to avoid heat on a fresh sprain or strain for the first two to three days. If something is swollen, you think it might be broken, or you hit your head, get it checked by a doctor before you use a sauna.
Drink water first, especially after a day at altitude, and start with shorter sessions.
Water, food and sleep do most of the work. Heat afterwards supports recovery and supports sleep, and fifteen minutes is enough once you have rehydrated.

Riding is vigorous exercise done in a crouch, mostly on your quads, and a day on the mountain is hours of it. Water, food and sleep do most of the recovery. Heat afterwards supports recovery.
After. Save the heat for when the day is done and you have had some water.
Either is a warm place to sit. A hot tub heats the water around you. Full spectrum infrared warms your body directly, and it is at home, not at the condo.
Heat therapy supports recovery and supports sleep. It does not prevent or treat injuries, and nothing here is medical advice. Do not use a sauna for at least the first two to three days after a sprain or strain, or after a head knock until a doctor has cleared you. Rehydrate first, avoid alcohol before a session, stand up slowly afterwards, and speak to your physician before starting sauna use, especially with a heart condition, if you take blood pressure medication, or if you are pregnant.
