Hello,
We are heading out to Schweitzer for the first time. We will be traveling from/to Spokane to Sandpoint and wondering what would be easiest drive. I am not sure what the weather is going to be like, but in case it snows, what would be the best route?
Thank you!

TBH, here in CdA we’ve had very little snow since Christmas. Thanksgiving week to Christmas we got a boatload of snow and I was shoveling frequently. Then it turned to rain for the lower elevation or snow that has melted quickly. The Interstate and US 95 up to Sandpoint at this time are bare of ice and snow.
The mountains are supposed to have fresh snow this weekend with a shot of frigid air. We are just supposed to get a trace in CdA so I expect the roads will still be clear.
Hope you get in some great skiing!
Thank you so much!
