4.5Schweitzer(371 reviews) - Lunch at The Nest Bar and Grill Mountains • Ski & Snowboard Areas
Considered by many as the best skiing in Idaho and the best family-friendly resort in the Pacific Northwest, Schweitzer is independently owned and proud of it. The resort ranks as one of the nation’s top winter destinations with 2900 acres of amazing terrain thanks to two massive bowls and renowned tree skiing. Not to be overlooked is Schweitzer's robust summer season with miles of hiking and mountain biking trails and a variety of other activities making it the hub for outdoor recreation in the area. Located in the rugged Selkirk Mountains of the northern Idaho panhandle, and only 80 miles from Spokane, WA, Schweitzer overlooks the quaint lakeside town of Sandpoint, ID and offers breathtaking views of three states, Canada and the impressive Lake Pend Oreille.See more..

4.5Bald Mountain(147 reviews) - Take a break and take the Gondola up, sans your skis Mountains • Ski & Snowboard Areas
We were tired but still wanted to experience the heights of Baldy. We got a Gondola-only ticket to ride up and back, and we were able to enjoy the vista in Adirondack chairs, watch skiers and generally get about on foot. Great idea - I'm glad we did it.See more..

There are so many amazing runs and lifts on this mountain I just had the best time! I’ve only been skiing 5 times so I am a newbie still. There was so much space for all of us to ski including all the children I saw having lessons. Gorgeous lodge, amazing staff and my favorite place to ski!See more..
4.5Jug Mountain Ranch(29 reviews) - A fine golf course Mountains • Ski & Snowboard Areas
This is a spectacular golf course and so different from many, many courses in the mountainous design. I love a challenging course. This was that but very doable but one has to think about what kind of a shot to make. Plus the folks there are very nice and business like and friendly!See more..
We were staying at a VRBO right next to Lizard Butte. It was a beautiful view. It is a .4 mile hike with elevation 144ft. You pull up on the rock road at the bottom and walk up. You don't want to drive up higher as it is private property (where we were staying). At the top, it offers 360 degree gorgeous views of Snake River Wine Country.See more..
