Pros
- Its a chill mountain in regard to vibe and the trails are pretty old school if I remember correctly. ... We went to Whitefish, Schweitzer, and Silver...so a trifecta. ... Super good time considering the nightmare of that summer.
- Ah yeah best to prob roll with Schweitzer then. It's been snowing pretty good this morning here in the area so things are looking up!
- I'm sure there is ample easy terrain at Schweitzer.
- Schweitzer has a nice village and a really nice bunny hill for warming up. The greens and blues are mixed between the basics and a little bit harder to find. It’s a higher end client mountain. The drive is easy on the way up the mountain.
- Schweitzer is great some lovely glade skiing.
Cons
- I love Schweitzer and think it's worth a visit, but it really depends on your level of risk tolerance for waiting on last minute snow. Personally if I was able to pivot without a major financial impact I'd prob save Schweitzer for a more...
- Schweitzer is barely managing to keep a single run open - this week's atmospheric river's done a number and it's stayed warm that they couldn't operate snow guns either.
- Schweitzer has excellent terrain and IMO is the best of the 3 with good visibility, but it often has poor viz due to fog.
- Schweitzer? No, we are not.
- Agreed. I did not enjoy Schweitzer nearly as much.

I love Schweitzer and think it's worth a visit, but it really depends on your level of risk tolerance for waiting on last minute snow. Personally if I was able to pivot without a major financial impact I'd prob save Schweitzer for a more typical year and head to where there's already decent snow on the ground.
