Nothing beats a Sandpoint weekend winter getaway that’s short on drive time from Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, leaving more time to ski, snowboard, snowshoe, fat bike, and relax!
With Schweitzer Mountain Resort scheduled to open in November for the 2024/2025 season and La Nina already delivering plenty of snow, now’s the time to plan your Sandpoint escape. Out There partner and advertiser Hotel Ruby Sandpoint offers a ton of amenities and easy access to Schweitzer for downhill skiing and snowboarding and Nordic skiing, as well as local snowshoe and fat bike trails, making it the best choice for where to stay. Your room comes with a free continental breakfast and access to a heated indoor pool and hot tubs, plus a ski locker room and waxing area and sleds you can use to hit the local sledding hills with the kids.
Plan Now for Your Sandpoint Winter Trip
Fall is the time to begin planning and booking your winter adventures out of Sandpoint and Schweitzer. From your base at Hotel Ruby Sandpoint, spend your days skiing or snowboarding up at Schweitzer, cruising the Schweitzer Nordic trail system, or hiking, fat biking or snowshoeing closer to town in the Pine Street Woods. The Pine Street Woods hill is a popular sledding spot and Schweitzer has a great tubing hill and snowshoeing trails. If wandering the snowy woods on snowshoes is your winter activity of choice, find the right snowshoe trail in the area in our guide to snowshoeing in North Idaho.
After having all that fun out in the snow, head back to Hotel Ruby Sandpoint and take advantage of the pool and hot tubs, on-site restaurant and bar, and comfortable dog-friendly rooms, all just a few minutes drive from Schweitzer and downtown Sandpoint. Book your trip before dates start filling up!
