SANDPOINT, Idaho — Schweitzer has announced the purchase of Selkirk Powder’s guided backcountry snowmobile and cat ski operation, an experience that invites guests to explore an additional 4,350 acres of skiable terrain from the backside of the resort.
“Since the early 2000s, Selkirk Powder has laid the groundwork in crafting unique backcountry experiences just beyond the resort’s boundary,” said Tom Chasse, president and COO of Schweitzer. “We can’t wait to build upon what’s already been established and take the operation to the next level for the upcoming winter season.”
The purchase from Selkirk Powder includes year-round access to 4,350 acres of backcountry terrain that runs adjacent to the resort’s western boundary. Previously, the company operated through a long-term concession agreement with Schweitzer and a lease from the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), offering guided snowcat skiing and snowmobile tours that departed from Schweitzer’s summit.
