I believe the answer is:

apres-ski

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'distribute perks as i do in alpine lodge?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'distribute perks as i' is the wordplay.
'distribute' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'perks'+'as'='perksas'
'perksas' with letters rearranged gives 'apressk'.
'apressk'+'i'='APRES-SKI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apres-ski that I've seen before include "Social activity following session on the piste" , "holiday entertainment" , "Concerned with activities after a day on the slopes" , "Party following winter sports" , "Nightlife after going on the piste" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
