I visited for a long weekend only with a large group during the low snow time in 2026. We still had a great time. Enjoyed all the open trails, live music at Taps, Selkirk lodge was amazing ski in ski out. Ate at their restaurant. Easy to find your group and meet up places. LOVED the night skiiing. I would definitely go back when the snow is better.

I go up to Schweitzer a lot during the ski season. Great runs and places to stop for drinks/food on the mountain. Many runs have not been open this year due to weather which has been a bummer but normally this place rocks!

My parents moved to Idaho about 10 years ago and every winter now I visit with my family and we make sure to go to Schweitzer two or three times during the visit. It has always had great runs and good food and drinks. My 6 year old son has now had a private lesson two years in a row and is skiing at a much more advanced level than I would say most kids his age are at. He’ll be skiing circles around me in a couple years. Well worth the trip and the expense.

First time skiing here in over 20 years. It has grown tremendously. Lots of steep and deep, trees are widely separated making skiing them quite easy. Good food. Friendly people.
