Schweitzer is the largest ski resort in Idaho and a premier destination in the Pacific Northwest. Located in the Selkirk Mountains just above the town of Sandpoint, the resort offers stunning, panoramic views of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding mountain ranges stretching into Washington and Canada. Known for its independent spirit, Schweitzer offers a massive big-mountain experience without the massive crowds.
Schweitzer boasts an impressive 2,900 skiable acres and a vertical drop of 2,400 feet. The mountain features 92 named trails and open bowls, serviced by 10 lifts, including the Stella six-person express. The terrain is incredibly diverse, offering wide-open groomers, steep chutes, and world-class gladed tree skiing. When the conditions are right, the upper mountain becomes enveloped in famous “snow ghosts”—trees completely encased in rime ice.
