Two Mountains, Two Countries, a Cross- Border Skiing Adventure
25.12.2024 - 04:15 / nytimes.com
My friend Michelle and I took turns following each other as we skied through stands of snow- and rime-coated subalpine fir. It had been three days since the last snowfall, but on this frigid January day at Schweitzer, in Idaho’s panhandle, we still found soft, untracked powder. It was delightful, but not a surprise.
For one, we were the only skiers in this section of Outback Bowl on a midweek afternoon. Two, with 2,900 acres of terrain, Schweitzer is Idaho’s largest ski area (almost 1,000 acres bigger than Sun Valley), so there’s lots to explore, including lingering powder stashes.
We had come on what we called a “two-nation ski vacation.” First up would be a couple of days at Schweitzer, in northern Idaho followed by two days at Red Mountain, three hours away by car in British Columbia. Then we would close the loop by driving back to the airport in Spokane, Wash., about two and a half hours from Red. Each resort is known for its tree skiing and off-the-beaten-path location, and both are part of the Ikon multi-mountain pass network.
At the time, the trip was also a chance to enjoy the comparatively low-key vibe of two independently owned ski resorts; since our visit, Schweitzer was acquired by Alterra Mountain Company, which owns 16 ski areas across North America and is the company behind Ikon.
