A ski resort is a large area where people can ski or snowboard on different kinds of mountains and hills. They also have a ski lodge where skiers can rest, eat and/or sleep. These places are mostly built on the foot of a mountain, which makes it a cold but perfect base if it has enough resources. Some ski resorts have their own power source, like a wind turbine or solar panels, which could be used to generate electricity, but one must know how to operate them.
