[Greetings from the water slide in the Biosphere Pool Complex at Grand Cascades Lodge]
Imagine the usual east coast winter, with snow on the ground and a chill in the air, yet you’re poolside in the Biosphere, surrounded by tropical plants and radiating warmth from a special retractable glass roof, that features 100% light transmission for year-round Vitamin D possibilities. Glance outside of the glass complex and you can’t help but take in the incredible mountain view from the Appalachian Valley, either from a lounge chair, the indoor or heated outdoor pool, from the jacuzzi, or on your way down the swirling Biosphere slide.
