SandpointLast weekend was gloriously sunny and warm in beautiful North Idaho.  It was perfect for a day trip north to Bonners Ferry, through Sandpoint and across Lake Pend Oreille

We headed out to meet up with my husband's sister and brother-in-law, who were headed our way, taking their own day trip south from Cranbrook, BC

The scenery was magnificent, the promise of spring in the air, and not a cloud in the bright blue sky.  My youngest son had spent the night at his friend's cabin at Schweitzer Mountain.  They had done some night skiing and were spending this glorious day on the slopes.  He had already texted me that it was the most incredible skiing conditions he had ever experienced!

As we crossed the bridge into Sandpoint, there in the distance was Schweitzer, all covered with snow and framed by the bright blue skies. The last throwback to winter, surrounded by lesser mountains dressed in their spring green with no sign of the cold white stuff.  I thought of my AR friend Kent Anderson who, from what I can tell, pretty much LIVES on his skiis on Schweitzer!  I enjoyed the thought of my son, at the very moment this photo was taken, swooshing down those slopes with his friends having the time of his life!

Beautiful North Idaho, what a place!  Those of us who live here are truly blessed to call it home!

Janna, looks like a spectacular day for all! And yes, I bet Kent was on the slopes. Now I wonder why we thought that?

Janna, I had stopped by, several weeks ago, one of Kent Andersons' blog posts about Schweitzer Mountain and left a comment...beautiful place and an interesting story to how it got it's name.

Nice pic, Janna! I like how each of the slopes contributes another level to the overall shot.
