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!

Its an overall amazing fun mountain to ride from beginner runs to advanced. Tons of family friendly activities to do. Live bands and multiple bars for the night life. Beautiful hotels and condos. Not to mention the food is spectacular.

Schweitzer has something for everyone. Locals are friendly and willing to share their knowledge. On a sunny day it is one of the best resorts in the world. Getting to see Canada, Washington, Montana and Idaho from the peak is amazing. The resort has been upgrading for years and continues to put forth an amazing product. It is not Vail but that is the point. You can find stashes for days after a storm. Groomers are always on par. XC is available, tubing is right there. The beginner area is cordoned off from the regular area. Lodging and amenities are improving every year and there are tons of local options. At ~11 miles form town you have many options there too. You bring the party but there are great spots to eat and drink in town as well.
