Morphology

ski + lodge

The meaning 'hotel or building at a ski resort offering lodging and facilities for skiers' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'ski' (relating to skiing) with 'lodge' (a small house or shelter for travelers). This noun–noun compound follows a common productive pattern (X lodge = lodging for X) and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Ski lodge: The name ski lodge comes from a simple picture: a warm lodge near snowy slopes where people with ski gear rest, dry boots, and eat by the fire. So, it means 'a hotel or building at a ski resort offering lodging and facilities for skiers'.
