First Time to Schweitzer Mountain
You and Owen endured an almost 7 hour drive to Sandpoint, Idaho (mainly due to a road closure at Snoqualmie Pass on the way there). We enjoyed 5 nights for your first visit to Idaho, and first time skiing in the Selkirk mountains (although I'm still not sure if it's part of the Kootenai range). Anyway, I digress. It was foggy the days we went but the snow was great. You and Owen couldn't get enough of the runs between the trees. You said you like Whistler's village better (which is hard to beat) but agreed the snow and lack of crowds on the mountain were superior at Schweitzer. -Dad
