Its hard to talk about your home ski resort in an unbiased and fair way.
Fortunately I have no obligation to be fair or unbiased here.
Ive been skiing Schweitzer Mountain Resort in northern Idaho for four years now and it just keeps getting better.
Most days the lines are small to non-existant and there are nearly always fresh stashes to be found.
This just means that the trees off Snowghost and triple are prime for shredding.
Schweitzer often shifts from fog to sun and back again in a matter of minutes.
Snowghost is almost the stereotypical old school double chair.
Its slow, its uncomfortable, its cold, and everyone loves it anyway.
There are several big cliffs and hits near or under the chair so heckling and cheering are common.
This is not the case however.
The Schweitzer park crew continually impress with well shaped jumps, jibs and creative features.
For a sample of their building skills check out Level 1s Less.
With several gates and cat tracks leading to thousands of acres the backcountry possibilities are endless.
Instead it carries a more relaxed atmosphere.
Have a good time but youd better be up early for cliff drops and face shots in the morning.
Schweitzer is a hidden gem perched high in northern Idaho.
My advice for out-of-towners?
Stay tuned for more articles, photos and videos from out trip!
