Nurture your Nature ... in every season When the snow flies, it's time to explore! Sandpoint goes nonstop from opening day at Schweitzer Mountain Resort through the annual Winter Carnival celebration and beyond. A few miles in any direction, you'll find the peace and solitude of winter in the backcountry – whether by ski, snowshoe or snowcat. It's truly a spectacular season to nurture your nature. And Sandpoint's deeper than just the powder, with award-winning wineries and breweries, art galleries, a historic theater, and diverse culinary scene. You'll find lots to love.
