Schweitzer Mountain...at a glance
Schweitzer Mountain Resort is widely considered one of the Northwest's premier skiing destinations. Located just 11 miles from downtown Sandpoint, Schweitzer boasts first class accommodations, both fine and casual dining, shopping, recreational opportunities through the Activity Center, movies, nightlife and fun for everyone, no matter what age.
Schweitzer Mountain averages over 300 inches of snow each season and often has fresh powder rivaling any mountain in the country. This fact, coupled with little to no lift lines and uncrowded slopes, makes it the perfect place to play. Of course, the views don't hurt either. Stand at the top of Schweitzer Mountain and gaze over three mountain ranges, into three states, and Canada. Enjoy a variety of terrain from smooth corduroy groomers to wide open bowls and gladed runs. With 2900 skiable acres, you?re sure to find something you like.
