A ski resort is a resort developed for skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports. In Europe, most ski resorts are town or village in or adjacent to ski areas - mountain areas with pistes (ski trails) and ski lift systems. In North America, it is more common for ski areas to be away from the city, so ski resorts are usually destination resorts, which are often built and stand-alone, where skiing is the main activity.

The ski industry has identified several generations of ski resorts:
- First generation
- Developed around summer resorts or established villages (eg Davos, St. Moritz, KitzbÃÆ'¼hel, Chamonix, MegÃÆ'¨ve, Val Gardena).
- Second generation
- Created from villages or non-touristy pastures (eg St. Anton, Lech, Courchevel, L'Alpe d'Huez, Aspen, Breckenridge).
- Third generation or integrated
- Designed from scratch on virgin territory to become a specially built ski resort, all nearby facilities and services (eg SestriÃÆ'¨re, Flaine, La Plagne, Isola 2000).
- Fourth generation or village resort
- Created from virgin territory or around the existing village, but more concerned with traditional uses (eg resorts built since 1975 such as Shahdag Mountain Resort, Azerbaijan).
The term ski station is also used, especially in Europe, for ski facilities not located in or near towns or villages. A ski resort that is also open to summer activities is often referred to as mountain resort.

Facilities and facilities
The ski area has marked a ski path known as run, lane or pistes. The ski area usually has one or more chairs to quickly move the skier to the top of the hill, and to connect the various paths. Crane ropes can also be used on short slopes (usually hill beginners or rabbit slopes). Larger ski areas can use gondolas or air trams for transport across the longer distances within the ski area.
Ski areas typically have at least first-aid facilities, and some types of ski patrol services to ensure that the injured skier is saved. Ski patrols are usually responsible for enforcing rules, marking hazards, closing individual roads (if sufficient hazard levels exist), and removing (dismissing) malicious participants from the area.
Some ski resorts offer a choice of lodging on the slopes themselves, with ski-in and ski-out access allowing guests to ski right up to the door. Ski resorts often have other activities, such as snowmobile, sled, horse sled, dog sled, ice-skating, indoor or outdoor swimming, and hot tub, game room and local entertainment forms, such as clubs , theaters, theaters and cabarets. AprÃÆ'¨s-ski (French: after ski ) is a term for entertainment, nightlife or social events that occur specifically in ski resorts. This adds to the enjoyment of the resort's visitors and provides something to do besides skiing and snowboarding. This culture comes from the Alps, where it is most popular and where skiers often stop at the bar on their last trip of the day while still wearing all their ski equipment.
Although the word 'ski' is derived from Old Norse 'skÃÆ'ÃÆ' Â °' via Norway, the French option is probably associated with the early popularity of such activities in the French Alps, which is then attributed.
Environmental impact of ski resort
The process of resort development has evolved since the birth of the ski industry. As the economic role of the ski industry grows, the environmental impact of resort development has also led to environmental burden on natural ecosystems including lake, river and wildlife levels in the mountains. Facilities and infrastructure such as concrete buildings, ski lifts, gondolas, road access, parking lots, and trains have contributed to the urbanization of mountain zones.
The main (direct) impact of resort development
In recent years, the use of snow cannons has increased due to the falling volume of snow. To get good quality snow, dust or bacteria mixed with water in the process of making snow to form a better snowflake. Not only that the manufacture of artificial snow is expensive and uses large amounts of water, but sometimes the creation of artificial lakes is needed for the snow making process. The snow cannon distributes large amounts of water unnaturally above the ground and freezes the soil vegetation until late spring, prevents growth and leaves the piste naked. With excessive water, the likelihood of landslides and landslides can be drastically higher.

The space needed for hotels, flats and secondary residences has increased the amount of space occupied by roads and buildings. While large numbers of people need special water, sewage and electrical systems, a lot of construction work is required. Road access and salt maintenance are responsible for the high number of erosions in ski resorts. In some cases, natural lakes should be tapped or reservoirs built to meet population demand. The urbanized urbanization has increased waterproof surface space, and prevents the natural flow of water into the soil. Resulting in a disturbed water table and potential causes of erosion in undesirable places. Lastly, when building a ski lift, its operating line should be shaped and dried, and large concrete blocks must be installed for the pole. If the pylons are not placed carefully, they can cause damage to surface vegetation.
