Snowpack at Schweitzer Sets Record

With over 180 inches so far, Idaho’s Schweitzer Mountain Resort is well on its way to eclipsing their average annual snowfall of 300 inches.

Records dating back to the 1982-83 season show this as the deepest early-season snowpack on record.

Schweitzer’s Ski Patrol Director, Arlene Cook, has been patrolling at Schweitzer for 30 years and can’t remember a December with this much snow.

“Simply put, it feels like February,” said Cook. “When you can’t count the number of powder days you’ve had in December, you know it’s been a good season.”

“To see 180 inches this early in the season is extraordinary,” said Schweitzer Marketing and Sales Director Dave Kulis.
