Ski Resorts

Whether you're a beginner seeking the best bunny hill or a seasoned skier looking for fresh powder challenge, you'll find great snow, inspiring scenery, and wonderful friendly people at our four nearby ski areas.

Lookout Pass

Looking for the best powder ever?  Try Lookout.  This mountain lies on the Montana/Idaho border.  Hence you have your choice of tackling the Idaho face or the Montana face!  We love Lookout because it is such a family friendly spot.  It's moderate size makes it tough to loose your kids.

The drive to Lookout stays on I 90 east from Coeur d'Alene.  The parking area and lodge are just 1/4 mile off the freeway!

Plenty of cross country skiing here as well as downhill.  We usually have special rates for Lookout for our guests.  Lookout holds a special place in my (Daryl's) heart because it is where I first tried downhill skiing (at age 50 no less!).

Silver Mountain

Want to ride the world's longest gondola?  Head east of Coeur d'Alene to Kellogg and get on board the gondola for Silver Mountain.  You'll gently glide over one hill, then down over the town of Wardner before beginning the ascent to the lodge on Silver Mountian.  From there multiple lifts take you to various parts of this large ski area. 

Schweitzer

Perhaps gorgeous views of Lake Pend Oreille are what you prefer.  Then a short drive from the farm to Sandpoint and Schweitzer Mountain will surely suffice.  This mountain has it all--great bunny hill, long cat track, and runs galore for everyone! We recommend a stop at a Sandpoint eatery to recharge your food needs before you return.  Sandpoint is full of great restaurants.

Mount Spokane

Want to add a fourth ski area to your list?  Mount Spokane (visible from our own Bunco Road) provides a family friendly ,moderately sized area It is located west and north of our farm in Washington state.
