World-Class Skiing

With 2,900 acres of skiable terrain, 300+ inches of annual snowfall, and 92 named runs, Schweitzer Mountain is the largest ski resort in Idaho and one of the Pacific Northwest's best-kept secrets.

Unlike the mega-resorts of Colorado and Utah, Schweitzer offers uncrowded runs, genuine powder days, and a mountain culture that feels like home. From gentle groomers to challenging bowl skiing, the terrain caters to every ability.

Lake Pend Oreille

Idaho's largest lake stretches 43 miles through the Cabinet and Selkirk mountains, offering crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and a boating season that runs from May through October.

Sail, kayak, paddleboard, or simply anchor in a quiet bay and watch the sun set behind the peaks. World-class fishing yields trophy trout, bass, and the legendary Kamloops rainbow — some exceeding 30 pounds.
