Ski resort facts for kids

Ski resorts in the World by country

A ski resort is a special place where people go to enjoy skiing and other fun winter sports. These resorts are usually found in mountains because they need lots of snow. They have special paths called slopes for skiing and ski lifts to take people up the mountain. These lifts can be cable cars, gondola lifts, or chairlifts. Ski resorts also offer places to stay, like hotels, and places to eat, such as restaurants, for visitors.

There are many ski resorts all over the world. You can find a lot of them in the Alps in Europe, as well as in the United States and Canada. There are not many in Africa because it does not snow much there.
