The best ski resort in the Inland northwest is just a 20 minute drive away. In addition to all the winter sports, summers offer mountain biking, hiking and huckleberry picking. Many great events happen here year round. Wonderful trail system within and surrounding the resort, Including the Watershed Crest Trail, which is an epic 20 mile hiking/biking trail that circumnavigates the Little Sand Creek Watershed. Still under construction, it offers 360 degree views of the Lake, Schweitzer, Sandpoint and most of North Idaho.
