Schweitzer Mountain Resort

Overall Score: 7.94
Last Year’s Ranking: n/a
Strengths: Family Friendly, Overall Satisfaction
Weaknesses: Dining, Nightlife
Hello, Schweitzer! This is the northern Idaho resort’s first appearance in the annual SKI Magazine rankings, and we couldn’t be more excited. (Also, a No. 11 debut ain’t too shabby.) If you’re not familiar with the remote ski area, you can be forgiven. It’s been on our up-and-comer list for several years now, but seeing as Schweitzer just opened its first hotel last winter, it could be considered a fledgling destination resort. It’s got what it takes: Almost 3,000 skiable acres, two new lifts, long, cruisy blues and blacks with lake views, fantastic glades, and a cute nearby town (Sandpoint) for all your other vacation needs. Who knows, maybe the resort will crack the Top 10 next year.
The Good, Bad, and Ugly
“Schweitzer is the place to ski for great snow, varied and challenging terrain, high speed lifts and short lift lines during holiday weeks. It’s like having your own private ski resort. The on-mountain dining is good and the resort vibe is friendly, laid-back, and efficient.”
“We were there for fresh snow, so the expert areas took it easy on us. But this was by a wide margin the best tree skiing I’ve ever encountered! Schweitzer is also a 30-minute drive outside Sand Point, Idaho. All the restaurants and nightlife are there, so there’s basically no après scene at the resort itself. But if you prefer to ski, eat, sleep, repeat, I can’t recommend Schweitzer highly enough!”
