A ski resort is a facility that offers skiing and other winter sports activities, as well as amenities such as accommodations, restaurants, and entertainment. Ski resorts typically have multiple runs for different skill levels, as well as equipment rental shops, lessons, and snowmaking capabilities to ensure there's enough snow for skiers and snowboarders year-round. Many people visit ski resorts for a weekend getaway or longer vacation, enjoying the beautiful scenery and outdoor activities while staying warm in cozy lodges or cabins.
