Part of the charm.
Mingle with new people in various states of undress.

Most such hotels provide robes, in both sizes - too short, and too narrow..

I stayed at the Alta Peruvian about 30 years ago as the last-minute add-on to a trip planned by my wife's brothers and friends. We had three people in a 2-single-bed room, with a sink in the room and shower and toilet down the hall. I thought it was coolly funky at the time, but today I like to take a long sit on the throne and follow it up with a shower, preferably right between skiing and dinner.

In those days the Peruvian was a little expensive compared to my normal Choice Hotels selection, but it was walking distance to the Alta lifts (and offered shuttle rides to Snowbird). Alta day tickets were included, plus buffet breakfast, coupon good for lunch on the mountain, and dinner at large tables seated with strangers soon to be friends. There was also a heated pool and jacuzzi on the deck, a ski storage and tuning room, and no TV in the building.
