Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Sandpoint

Sure growing up here on the Selkirks!

What a beautiful mountain! Staff was mostly happy, perhaps not the most attentive bunch, but they clearly enjoy the job. Lots of runs to choose from! Even on a fairly crowded day, lines were very manageable. They have a parking lot lift that doubles as an epic learner hill. 100% snowboarder approved! Snowboarders have a notoriously difficult time learning on most bunny hills, they're just too flat. Not here! Very family friendly! Didn't check out the top restaurant, but the base has a cafeteria style set up with lots of seating and a bar upstairs. Restrooms were a bit of a challenge. I found two at the base, one required stairs and the other was in the rental area, so busy and bustling in the opening and closing times. All and all, it was a wonderful day and I have no legitimate complaints!
