There used to be a great steam room and a hot plunge pool in the Upper building that was hot as a two dollar revolver. The old Swiss guys used to warn newbies against staying in too long . After that the attendant in bow tie and white shirt. Would coccoon your pink body in a grey woollen bkanket and help you onto a 1940’s army bed where you would pass out and arise reborn.

Your nose hairs freeze.

It is how we like it.
