No one was hurt. But the fire did an estimated one million dollars damage.
It broke out just before five yesterday morning.
A spokesman for the ski resort says firefighters were on the scene a few minutes after the smoke alarm went off.
But it took about four hours to bring the fire under control, because of the strong winds and bitter cold.
The cause has yet to be determined.
