First year at Schweitzer, I am so glad I chose to purchase the Ikon pass so I can go here all year. Fantastic glade runs with tons of areas to explore on the front and backside

Having been living in Sandpoint for 7 years now, Schweitzer has definitely become a second home for me, not sure what winter would be like without it and not in any hurry to find out!
