Ski lodge
A ski lodge or day lodge is a building located in a ski area that provides amenities such as food, beverages, seating area, restrooms, and locker rooms for skiers and snowboarders.[1] Larger resorts have a day lodge at each base area and also at mid-mountain, summit, or remote locations within the ski area.
Ski lodge can also refer to a resort area hotel[2] such as Timberline Lodge in Oregon,[3] or a ski club owned building with meeting space and overnight accommodations for members.
