this is a non-profit mountiqn qne in mqny ways it shows, very little cate for improvements and upkeep, very slow chairs and the lift shack on top of #1 chair looks like it could fall down any minute, as for sking, it is very utilitarian, it serves the purpose and can have some great days. ticket office is poorly run, long waits to get rentals since you have no form filling out until you get to the desk, I waited for alarge group to individually fill out every form, maddening on a busy morning, I be very picky on which days I go up. I would rather drive the extra to ski Schweitzer

My fiance and I took my 14 year old son, my 24 year old son, and other family members to Mt.Spokane on New Years Day. It was the very first time that my two boys had ever been to ski resort as well as snowboarding. We were there the entire day, we all found the slopes to be great, the staff was wonderful, the only grip that my mother and I had is that there was no fireplace, and no mixed drinks in the lodge as well as the windows we could hardly see out of, all in all we had a wonderful time and plan on returning on week-end of the 20th of January. Thank you for the experience.

I would not suggest this resort to any first time skiers. I found the staff to be rude, impatient and intimidating. For an example, my daughter is a first time skier and on her second run down the bunny hill she got going a little to fast and managed to dodge several snowboarders that were sitting on the ground and forgot the basics of snowplowing from the lessons she took earlier that morning. Needless to say, one of the staffers yelled at my eleven year old and then threatened that she could take away her lift ticket. Very rude, impatient and intimidating place for first time skiers. I do need to commend the rental shop, they were very busy today, but they were very professional and accomodating.

Feb 28.....has anyone else ever seen seen such a powder day at Mt Spokane? I am still grinning @ midnite. The new gladed runs were superb and I was a diehard Schweitzer fan,
