Skiing Schweitzer is like having your own private mountain. 2900 acres of lift-serviced terrain rank this among the largest resorts in North America.  Lift lines are rare to non-existent and it only gets better from there.  If you can see it, you can ski it!  Home to incredible bowls, chutes, groomed cruisers and some of the best tree skiing in America (over 1200 acres of trees!), Schweitzer offers unmatched terrain and something for everyone.  Want more?  Did you ever want to try back country cat skiing but found it too difficult or expensive to arrange?  At Schweitzer you can travel with the club while also experiencing thousands of acres filled with fresh powder just one lift ride from the lodge.  The cat skiing guide will lead a small group endlessly into every winter aspect you've ever dreamed of: gnarly steep chutes, mellow glades and open fields, glacier-carved, cornice rimmed bowls stacked with powder pillows.  And after skiing up to 14,000 powder filled vertical feet, you ski back to the lodge.  There's no long cat ride home here!!

Don’t feel like skiing or after one run you know you need a break?  Schweitzer lift ticket exchange policy allows you to trade in a day for credit at restaurants, shops, massages, snowshoe, nordic center or the tube park.  Take a 25-minute shuttle down to Sandpoint, home of the corporate headquarters for Cold Water Creek.  Visit the Pend Oreille and Cold Water Creek Wineries and Laughing Dog & McDuff’s breweries, wander through the many unique shops or try out some of the local restaurants.
