Ski with Santa at Schweitzer Mountain Resort

Ski with Santa at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, a beloved annual tradition in the picturesque town of Sandpoint, Idaho.Ski with Santa returns on December 23 and 24, 2026, when Santa and Mrs. Claus trade the workshop for beginner and intermediate runs, handing out candy and pausing for those can-you-believe-this photos that become family favorites. On Christmas Eve, watch for the balloon parade that heads out at 2 PM, skiing down Midway and arriving in the village shortly after, before Santa takes his last turns on the slopes and heads out for the big night.Set on Schweitzer Mountain Resort’s expansive terrain in the Selkirk Mountains, this is holiday magic with lift tickets, fresh air, and the kind of cheerful energy you only get when Santa shows up in ski boots.
