Ski or Snowboard at Schweitzer!


Since this winter has been exceptionally mild and warm, skiing and snowboarding opportunities have been few and scarce. However, this should not stop the avid skier/snowboarder from enjoying time on the slopes. Growing up with a father who is an excellent skier, I was only 5 years old when I learned to ski. Therefore, I spent many winters of my childhood at Schweitzer Mountain Resort.

Schweitzer not only has the most beautiful trails and scenery in the area, but provides endless entertainment opportunities. After a day of hitting the slopes, you can enjoy your evening by relaxing at the bar, hot tub, pool, or restaurants at the Selkirk or White Pine Lodge. Other activities offered at Schweitzer Mountain Resort include: shopping, air boarding, spa services, campfires, pottery painting, snowshoe hiking, Nintendo Wii Competitions and much more!

Nothing beats a long day of skiing followed by a night of hot-tubing under the stars, overlooking the white powdery slopes. The atmosphere at Schweitzer provides a feeling of nostalgia and comfort. A weekend at Schweitzer allows one to escape everyday responsibilities and worries, and enjoy some fresh air on the mountain.

Schweitzer’s slopes accommodate beginning, advanced, and even professional skiers and snowboarders. A few of my favorite runs include: Grant’s Nosedive, Cathedral, and Kathy’s Yard Sale. Each run at Schweitzer is different from the rest and provides skiers/snowboarders with a unique experience.

Before heading home, don’t forget to stop and check out Sandpoint village. Sandpoint is a small, quaint little town at the bottom of Schweitzer Mountain. Sandpoint is home to unique, local, and festive boutiques and shops that cannot be experienced anywhere else. This little city provides visitors a local look into the heritage and culture of Idaho.
