NIMSEF again sharing Schweitzer experience with area youth

SANDPOINT — People come from all over to enjoy North Idaho’s world-class outdoor activities. However, while tourists and those involved in the local ski industry clearly understand the joy that snow sports offer, many in the shadows of the mountain have no idea. 

A large percentage of the children growing up with Schweitzer Mountain Resort in their “backyard” never experience the joy and freedom the slopes provide. These kids, whose families are the hard-working backbone of the community, never experience what many of us take for granted.

Skiing/Snowboarding is simply too expensive for many North Idaho families. Many local children go to school and hear their classmates recalling the great weekend they had on the mountain and they yearn to experience such a fun sport.
