SKIING NORTH IDAHO




There are 4 major ski/winter sports resorts within one hour drive of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Below are the web site links of the Downhill Ski Resorts. There are also many Cross country Ski trails and parks in the area. Winters vary in North Idaho, but one can usually depend on plenty of snow in the mountains to make winter a great skiing experience.

Skiing & Snowboarding
