Schweitzer voted top ski hill in North America

SANDPOINT — Schweitzer has been named the overall best ski resort in North America this year, according to HomeToGo, a vacation rental company who offers rentals in unique parts of the country.

Sandpoint’s home mountain was named the overall best for a multitude of reasons, including its “excellent snow conditions, affordability, lift capacity and plenty of ski terrain to explore.” With a 17,100-person ski lift capacity and 59 total miles of runs, Schweitzer came out on top, barely beating Park City, Utah, which came in close second.

“Boasting 2,900 acres of snow-draped terrain, Schweitzer Mountain dazzles with its remarkable skiing opportunities,” HomeToGo staff said. “Nestled snugly in the snowy embrace of the Selkirk Mountains … skiers can savor the chillingly beautiful views of three states, Canada and the glistening Lake Pend Oreille.”
