3. Ski Rental Shack by the Lift
Every resort needs a rental shack, and this one’s a quick, fun build. It’s a tiny timber hut by the chairlift, with a counter full of what I pretend are skis — really just sticks and spruce slabs leaned against the wall — and a chest of boots inside. I hung a lantern over the door and put a sign out front that says RENTALS. It makes the mountain feel like a real resort instead of just a pretty hill.
