New for 2011/2012 - Schweitzer is taking Canadian Money at par on hill!

Discover the best kept secret of a resort and contact Backside to make it happen.

Stand at the top and stare at three mountain ranges, Canada and three states. Enjoy a variety of terrain from smooth corduroy groomers to wide open bowls and gladed runs. Then return to the top at hair flying speed thanks in part to Stella. Stella, as you will soon discover, is Idaho's only six-person high-speed lift.

Our Guides Recommend

Pleasant Schweitzer

I've only been to Schwietzer once, but the mounain is very pleasant. It's beautiful and quaint, the groomers are wide, and the hill is well laid out. The size of the resort is such that even after day three or four, you can still find yourself exploring new areas. But my favourite part of Schweitzer is the tree skiing unique and fun. This may sound like a ridiculous point, but there is such a diverse range of types of trees, from larches to firs to giant cedars it makes the glade experience here unique. There are also some some sweet chutes on both the front and the back sides of the mountain that will pose a fun challenge even for the pros, although most of the mountain is largely laid out for more intermediary levels of skill. Overall a fun place to ski :) - LORI S (Backside Guide)
