Best Ski Resort for Accommodation in Idaho: Schweitzer - Accommodation Options Rating
Schweitzer offers solid accommodation options that receive consistently positive feedback from our users. The mountain village features a variety of lodging choices, from the newer hotel with its fireplace lounge to comfortable condos. One Snomad community member notes that on-site lodging is somewhat limited, which actually helps keep the slopes uncrowded. While staying on the mountain puts you right in the action, the charming town of Sandpoint (about 11 miles away) provides additional options. A user who is an advanced snowboarder mentioned the "beautiful hotels and condos" available, making Schweitzer a great base for your skiing adventure.
#2 Sun Valley - Accommodation Options Rating
Sun Valley's accommodation gets consistently high marks from our users. Delac praised the "incredible accommodations" with immediate slope access, while Pete feels it offers "the biggest bang for your buck in the western USA." The Sun Valley Lodge gets mixed reviews – Monica notes it has "a very rich white person vibe" and mentioned having to "walk half a mile for a decent hot tub." Most accommodation is conveniently positioned, with Jim, who's been skiing here since 1965, highlighting the charm of Ketchum town. The majority of users appreciate the quality of lodging options, complemented by efficient town shuttles that run on time.
#3 Bogus Basin - Accommodation Options Rating
Bogus Basin offers solid accommodation options, though it's primarily a day-trip destination for Boise locals. Several Snomad users note the resort's close proximity to the city – just 45 minutes up the mountain – making it convenient for those staying in Boise. While on-mountain lodging isn't extensively mentioned in reviews, the resort makes up for it with its accessibility. As one advanced snowboarder points out, the non-profit management style contributes to the friendly atmosphere. For families looking to stay multiple days, the resort's facilities are rated highly by parents, with everything needed for a comfortable skiing holiday.
