Schweitzer Mountain Resort

George and Nancy had all these days planned out for us....They were so wonderful to us.  They even did all the driving.  We enjoyed the sights so much.

The stop at Schweitzer Mountain Resort was a total surprise to us.  Hope you enjoy the sights as much as we did...

There are many condos here and we can only imagine how beautiful they must look with all the snow in the winter.

They have a bunch of bike trails...bikers take the bikes up on the sky lift then ride the trails down the mountain.   They come down with a lot of speed...
