Pros: On-site accommodations, restaurant, cantina, water park. Very close to major airport, hotels, restaurants, entertainment (Coeur d’Alene & Spokane). 1600 acres, 2250 vertical; of uncrowned alpine terrain. 300 inches annual snow. Cheapest lift rates/ season passes known. Cons: 400 acres of best skiing (Chair 4) is often closed. Another 200 acres is really off-piste terrain. Grooming; very little (other than beginner areas); reports of such are unreliable at best. Lifts are aging (especially Chair 4). Even with abundant snowfall, base snow layer is often less than 5 feet. Someplace between: Several other ski resorts near (North Idaho area) plus resorts in Washington, Montana, British Columbia, Alberta - all within comfortable driving distance. Other: Beautiful & vibrant - four season area. Alpine mountains, lakes & rivers. Massive wilderness areas juxtaposed against CdA and Spokane, where you can find anything modern life requires.
