Last year I skied Silver Mtn and Schweitzer. First trip to ID. My cat skiing trip with Selkirk was cancelled because I hit the hard freeze after a warmup. I'm heading back in two weeks with Selkirk cat rebooked and plan on also hitting 49 North and Schweitzer again. Last year almost ALL of the Schweitzer & Silver blacks were totally refrozen unskiable. I guess that's what can happen in ID.
I usually like 2 trips a year and here is what i'm thinking.
3 choices for last weekend of Feb. Any advice?
#1. Fly to Spokane and Ski Red Mtn. Out of all these mtns, from my seat(pretty far away in Pa.), Red looks like the place to go.
#2. The easy trip is fly to Glacier and ski Whitefish. Very little driving!, Whitefish certainly looks big enough, but I'm concerned about the flat light/fog skiing on a new mtn.
#3. I'm leaning to Boise>Brundage>Tamarack>Bogus Mtn. One day at each with staying in Donnelly, hopefully I can find a place to sleep reasonably. The are so called undiscovered mtns but they look plenty big and fun for a day.
