Sandpoint is nice, town will be even more quaint when the highway bypass is done. Rustic. Schweitzer ski area is great, small town real ski hill feel. Steep. Uncrowded. Nordic skiing, racing Friday nights for anyone who wants to go fast; terrain park programs. Lots of kids programs. Lots of tele skiers. Lots of people saying hi to each other by name on the hill and complaining about the crowds (2 minute lift lines for about 2 hours of the day). Fire outside back lodge on the snow. Professional lifties with personality, not just Aussie imports. Still double lifts without safety bars that come down, even in the litigious ol' USA. The area appears to be very strong for Subaru sales and repairs well into a given car's 20th year, as well as a hearty population of Toyota Tacoma's on the road, date of manufacture anything from 1980 to present. Dogs. Microbrews. Flannel. Beards.
