Considered by many as the best skiing in Idaho, Schweitzer ranks as one of the nation’s top winter destinations with 2900 acres of amazing terrain thanks to its two massive bowls and renowned tree skiing. Located in the rugged Selkirk Mountains of the northern Idaho panhandle, Schweitzer overlooks the town of Sandpoint, ID and offers breathtaking views of three states, Canada and Lake Pend Oreille. In the summer of 2019, Schweitzer will be replacing the Snow Ghost chairlift with two new lifts. One is a high speed quad, "Cedar Park Express," and the other is a fixed grip triple, "Colburn Triple."
