ski-resort
Snowy vacation spot
A ski resort is a destination developed for skiing and other winter sports, typically in mountainous terrain with slopes of varying difficulty, ski lifts, equipment rentals, and lodging.
Many ski resorts have expanded into year-round operations offering hiking, mountain biking, and other warm-weather activities: We booked a week at a ski resort in Colorado.
