Trying to align a few days at Schweitzer (and the general area) but wanted to get a sense of what to expect there. I never see a ton of chatter about it (Schweitzer) but thought id toss it out there and see if anyone wants to add any tips or tid bits. Ive read various things that say its like...

Hi! New member from Idaho, right near the Wyoming border. I ski Grand Targhee (season pass), Teton Pass (backcountry), occasionally Jackson Hole, and Beartooth Pass/Beartooth Basin as much as I can in the spring/summer. I learned to ski as an adult and this will be my 7th season. Last season I...

Soldier Mountain, once owned by Bruce Willis, who donated the resort to a non profit, who later sold the Solder Mountain in 2015 for $149,000.00. In this Mt Express article, dated February 2019, the owners describe some of the infrastructure that will need to be upgraded for the resort to be...

is February historically a good month to ski sun valley? Are conditions usually winter like or spring? Is rain a serious consideration? Thanks for your help

So, I am thinking about a road-trip through Montana, Idaho, and Washington State.....but not necessarily limited to those states. Looking for Cheap, Deep, and Steep, so I will probably avoid the bigger resorts. Alpental, Baker, and Bridger look interesting. So does Apex in BC. What else...

I know it is only Sept. BUT does anyone have any information on Lookouts expansion, anything new at Silver (head they've done some Glade work) anyone know where on the Mt. Anything new at Schweitzer ? Anyone going to Gathering at Big Sky?

My high school buddy and I are planning a ski road trip around the PNW to areas we have not been to. Looking for suggested places to stay, places to eat, etc. For various reasons we are starting/ending at Bellingham Wa (his brother), and mid-trip visiting Bozeman (my brother-in-law). We are...

I haven't been there but there is a lift at my home mountain, Mt. Rose, that has a similar lift. It's old and slow but it's also the only lift that runs to the top on windy days when the 6 pack detachables are closed. What do the Schweitzer aficionados think? Is new always better? Here's the link.

Looking very much like I am off to a work project in Twin Falls, Idaho for the coming winter. Never skied down that way other than Sun Valley and that won't be a regular diet. A quick Google search shows that Magic Mountain and Pomerelle Mountain. Does anybody out there have any experience with...

......over here. Previously, on Pugski:

“What are the JH GROOMER/ cruiser trails(blue double blue) trails like (length steepness crowd snow quality) like compared to those at SV?

If I am skiing on baldy relying on snowmaking (eg no recent snow) would the experience be similar to skiing at a vermont area with snowmaking and no recent snow. Supposedly sun valley has state of the art equipment. Thanks for any useful info.

Conflicted. Need to be sold! Mid February: Does a guy go to Whitefish for a second year in a row or change it up and do a Spokane driving tour like Silver, Schweitzer, Lookout (or 49N). Seems like ID is getting awesome snow so far and I assume WF will catch up in the coming days. I wanna book...

My buddy and I do a trip to a different place each year. We try to find the more adventurous low-key non-resort type places and enjoy steeps and "hike-to" terrain. Due to ease of flights we have been mostly around SLC and Denver with one trip to Taos. This season we wanted to branch out a bit...

Inland PNW. Lookout Pass is opening Sat Nov 4th, Front chair #1 and beginner area chair 4. This will be the first opening in the Inland PNW. Doesn't say specifically but think will only be Sat and Sun. Let the season begin. Front area which is chair 1. But not this warm.

After 7 yrs of planning, red tape, slow slow Forest Service the Lookout Mt. expansion plans have received final approval. Two new chairs on the Mt. behind to the south. One chair mile long and will give Lookout a whole new feel, expand the powder skiingd and a new lodge will go in where the...
