1. Ski or hike at Schweitzer Mountain Resort
I found Sandpoint 45 minutes north of Coeur d’Alene. It's a 1.5 hour drive northeast of Spokane, WA if you are coming from that side. It's a lovely town for a day trip, but if you plan to ski in the winter, plan on staying a few nights!
In the winter, plan a ski trip to the Schweitzer Mountain Resort which has 92 named runs are serviced by 10 lifts.
Everything you need for an enjoyable skiing vacation is right on your doorstep including a variety of accommodation and dining options.
In addition to downhill skiing, you can choose from Nordic skiing, tubing, terrain parks and floodlit twilight skiing. The resort offers ski lessons for all ages so don't be afraid to come here to learn.
In summer, you can come to Schweitzer Mountain Resort to enjoy scenic lift rides, mountain biking, hiking, trail-running and horse-back riding.
