Whether you're an avid skier, snowboarder, or just love the serene beauty of a snowy landscape, Schweitzer offers something for everyone.

Skiing and Snowboarding Adventures

With over 2,900 acres of skiable terrain, Schweitzer is the largest ski resort in Idaho and Washington. The mountain boasts a diverse range of runs for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. From smooth, gentle slopes for beginners to steep, adrenaline-pumping black diamond trails for the more advanced, there’s no shortage of excitement. And with an average snowfall of over 300 inches per season, powder hounds will find plenty to love.


Family-Friendly Fun

Schweitzer is perfect for families looking for a fun-filled winter getaway. The resort offers ski lessons for kids, including group and private options, as well as a daycare facility for little ones who aren’t quite ready to hit the slopes. For some added excitement, don’t miss out on the tubing hill, where both kids and adults can enjoy a thrilling ride down the snowy lanes.


Nordic Skiing and Snowshoeing

If you prefer a more peaceful experience, Schweitzer also features over 32 kilometers of Nordic trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. These well-groomed trails take you through the stunning forests of the Selkirk Mountains, offering breathtaking views of Lake Pend Oreille and beyond.


Schweitzer Mountain Adventures

Schweitzer Mountain offers more than just skiing and snowboarding. For thrill-seekers, explore the pristine backcountry with snowcat and snowmobile tours, where guided adventures take you through untouched terrain. If you prefer a more tranquil experience, enjoy Nordic skiing and snowshoeing on over 32 kilometers of scenic trails. For an extended day on the mountain, don’t miss twilight skiing, where you can enjoy evening runs under the stars. After a day of adventure, Schweitzer Village offers the perfect spots to unwind and refuel. Warm up by the fire at Chimney Rock Grill, grab a casual bite at Gourmandie, or relax with a craft beer at Taps.
