Located in beautiful Sandpoint, ID, Schweitzer Mountain is committed to providing a safe, fun place for you and your family to play. Our slopes are some of the least crowded anywhere!
Stand at the top of our resort and stare at three mountain ranges, Canada and three states. Enjoy a variety of terrain from smooth corduroy groomers to wide open bowls ... and gladed runs. Then return to the top at hair-flying speed thanks in part to Stella. Stella, as you will soon discover, is Idaho's only six-person, high-speed lift. Read more

Schweitzer Mountain Resort Reviews & Tips (4)
Went there yesterday for the first time and skied all day. Condition were nice in the morning and then turned bad in the afternoon with strong winds and freezing rains. Certain runs have icy spots. Overall, a decent size mountain with a good mix of runs. However, the layout was somewhat confusing even if you have a map in hand, especially if you are visiting for the first time. Would love to return and ski some more

Great four day trip! Luckily we had great snow, new snow most every day, it was stormy, and the ridges and upper areas were windy and visibility was near zero but the snow was great! Not huge dumps, but we were skiing in 4-10 inches of new snow most all the weekend. Saturday the crowd was reasonable, sometimes maybe a 10-15 minute wait in a lift line, but the crowds on Friday and Sunday were very light, sometimes a 2 minute wait, sometimes no wait at all, then on Monday (Feb 25th) it was positively LONELY on the mountain,.
Mountain has a good variety of runs, and decent vertical, top elevation isn't great so snow conditions are probably often questionable. But if you luck out and hit good snow days there's some great runs..
The village is really limited, two or three big condo;s hotels right in the village, other than that its a hike to all the other lodging, and the shuttle bus service is sporadic and limited.. Food and drink options are pretty limited, other than the day lodge only a fancy restaurant, a pizza place, a couple pubs, and a market/deli. If you're looking for something to eat after 5PM your options are really limited.
The mountain's great, but the services and village are less than average.

Would go here again....snow was awesome, little foggy while we were there but we toured the mountain very well and seemed to find all the great powder stashes. The staff and people were the so nice....could consider living here for sure.

Fabulous area.
I skied three days over Presidents' Day weekend. and lucked into absolutely unreal ski conditions with about 6" of new snow each day.
The runs are meticulously maintained and many of the extremely steep runs are groomed.
It was quite a lot of fun skiing on fresh powder that was on top of corduroy. If that isn't hero snow, nothing is!
One caveat, conditions at the top can be somewhat windy and limited in visiblility, but the mountain is big enough that you should be able to find clear areas to enjoy especially on the back side which is serviced by a 6-pak detachable. A face mask isn't a bad thing to have for those days.
A vast majority of the mountain is intermediate and beginner skiing.
it's quite a hike if you decide to climb up to the lodge, so if you drive up, walk across the parking lot and ski down the beginners' hill to Musical Chairs Lift which will take you to the Lodge/ Ticket area.No ticket required for that.
I will be back!
