Hey Guys I'm moving to spokane in November. Any tips on neighborhoods to look for places to stay. Any bad parts I should look out for? I've never been but it looks pretty cool. Where do you all usually ski? Mt. Spokane looks pretty decent for a quick trip (im from Boston so I'm used to vt/nh/me mountains) How badd is the drive to Revelstoke? It looks like its 6 hrs north or so. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In terms of avoiding neighborhoods, it all depends what u can afford. there are nice apartments on the south hill, which i where i live. Mt Spokane is aight. its only a 45 min drive from the south hill which is nice if u wanna sleep in. Most people around here ski at Schweitzer, which is 2 hours away. Problem is Schweitzer is so damn expensive.

browns addition can be pretty cool, but there are also some sketchy areas around there. personally, i get a pass to schweitzer every year. if you have a ride, and you ski a decent amount, its really not terribly expensive. like the guy above me said, mt spokane is close, but its pretty shitty for the areas around here.

spokane isnt a bad city, shoot me a pm if you need any other advice.

brown's edition is tight. some interesting characters but a really solid restaurant/ bar area. The Elk and whatever place is next to it are both dope. plus downtown is like 5 minutes away. Zolas has a good happy hour, especially on sundays. lotta solid spots downtown.
