Schweitzer Mountain

Schweitzer is a ski resort in the northwest United States in northern Idaho, 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Sandpoint. Located in Bonner County in the Selkirk Mountains, it overlooks Lake Pend Oreille to the southeast with views of the Bitterroot and Cabinet mountain ranges. The ski area is approximately 45 miles (70 km) south of the Canada–US border. Doing business as Schweitzer Mountain Resort since 1988, in April 2021 the ski area adjusted its brand name to drop the words "mountain resort" to now be known only as "Schweitzer."

The resort's principal peak, Schweitzer Mountain, has a summit elevation of 6,400 feet (1,951 m) above sea level with a vertical drop of 2,440 feet (744 m). There are 92 named runs and open bowls on Schweitzer's skiable area of 2,900 acres (11.7 km2), served by 10 lifts. The average annual snowfall is over 300 inches (7.6 metres). The longest continuous groomed run is Little Blue Ridge Run, at 2.1 miles (3.4 km), and the uphill lift capacity is 15,900 passengers per hour.
