It’s 2024, and we are off to new adventures and places to explore. This year our Western trip will be to Schweitzer Mountain Resort, a fairly recent addition to the IKON family. Voted “the best kept secret in North America” by Ski Magazine. The Schweitzer ski terrain (vertical drop = 2,400 feet/elevation = 6,400 feet) has lots of variety, including wide open cruisers, steep corduroy, open bowls, glades, some really impressive tree skiing, and three terrain parks. The trail statistics are 10% beginner, 40% intermediate, 35% advanced, and 15% expert, and the double blacks aren’t the pretend kind. 

With sufficient interest and additional cost, we may arrange a snowcat skiing adventure!
