SNOWMOBILE TOURS

Snowmobile tours with Selkirk Powder Company are like no other! The first thing that's wicked cool is that you'll be snowmobiling off the summit of Schweitzer Mountain, a fully acutremented resort, best known for great powder skiing! So when you snowmobile with us you never have to leave the resort; you'll actually join the expert skiers and use the main lift to access our snowmobile trailhead. Now families and groups who may not all be skiing together can get in on an activity that's truely "summit bound"!

20 FEET of SNOW ANNUALLY

We always have snow at 6400' ! Using Schweitzer's summit lift, a maximum of 6 drivers, with or without passengers, are whisked out of the village to our lodge where you'll meet your guide(s) and jump aboard the snowmobiles. From the summit you and your guide(s) will snowmobile onto hundreds of miles of groomed and non-groomed trails in a private and state-owned forest.
We ride for 2 hours on groomed and fresh powder covered logging roads between speeds of 15 - 35mph. In these 2 hours, you'll travel 10- 25 miles and ride up and down between 6,000 to 10,000 vertical feet!
Along the way you'll stop and enjoy a cocoa/snack break and talk about all the moose, deer, bunnies and the rest of the forest critters, including the wolves and grizzley bears that live back here (don't worry, the griz are hibernating!) .
We operate 2 tours daily, 9:00am and and 1:00pm

SUMMIT LODGE & SNOWMOBILING SAFETY

We do our guest registration down in Schweitzer's Lakeview Lodge, but we have our own lodge at the summit of Schweitzer,100 yards from the Great Escape chairlift; it's really snug and warm. Up here we will fit you with a helmet and make final preparations for hitting the snowmobile trails!

SPC operates it's own Professional Division of National Ski Patrol and we have established a mutual aid system with Schweitzer's Professional Division of National Ski Patrol. While you are snowmobiling, a patroller is checking conditions and standing-by to assist us in any manner.
Selkirk Powder Company leases Schweitzer's backcountry landholding exclusively and is permitted by the Idaho Department of Lands at Priest Lake to operate snowmobile tours in a limited scope within the Priest Lake State Forest.SPC maintains a groomed trail (dashed line) to Schweitzer's summit for visiting snowmobilers.
