Lake Pend Oreille

At 65 miles long and 1,150 feet deep, Lake Pend Oreille is Idaho’s largest and deepest lake. With crystal clear water and idyllic forest surroundings, it also may be its most beautiful. Activities in or around the lake are numerous and include sailing, fishing, cruises, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and swimming.

Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort

Located only about 20 minutes from the SilverWing Development, Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is, as MSN Travel said, “a 2,900-acre secret that won’t remain one forever.” From the top of mountain, at 6,400 feet, the stunning views include Canada’s Selkirks, Montana’s Cabinet and Bitterroot Mountain Ranges, as well as Lake Pend Oreille.

Schweitzer is home to some of the best skiing and riding in the Inland Northwest with its many terrain types—wide open bowls, gladed runs, and tree skiing. The 92 named runs range from double-diamond trails to those more approachable by beginners and kids, and for snowboarders, the “best park in the Pacific Northwest,” per Powder Magazine. Ski Magazine calls Schweitzer “unassuming and uncrowded,” with an average of one skier per acre, and notes it receives “100 more annual inches of snow than Sun Valley,” typically over 300 inches.

Throughout the year, Schweitzer is always a social hub, hosting numerous concerts and events, such as the Outrageous Air Show and Fall Fest. During the summer months, Schweitzer is open for many activities, including hiking and mountain biking, and ziplining.
