Base lodge

A base lodge is a central facility located at the bottom of a ski resort or mountain area. It serves as a hub for visitors to gather, offering amenities such as ticketing, rentals, dining, restrooms, and sometimes equipment services. The lodges enhance the overall experience by providing a comfortable space to relax, prepare, and regroup before or after outdoor activities. They are designed for convenience and social interaction, ensuring skiers, snowboarders, and visitors have a welcoming place to start and end their day on the mountain.
