Buying a seasons pass at one...not sure which. Right now i am leaning towards getting a pass at stevens. Discuss....




STEVENS.
pros:
avg 450" of snow of a year
3.5 hr drive (< drive to schweitzer)
lots a steep terrain

cons:
half of the snow they get is wet


SCHWEITZER
pros:
avg 300" of snow of a year
snow is pretty dry


cons:
4.5 hour drive (> drive to stevens
lots a steep terrain
foggy a lot of the time

You don't want to go to Stevens. All of the snow we get there is heavy and wet. It rains all the time. Your pass will be a waste.

obviously Schweitzer, way better snow, nicer people, and that view of the lake is fantastic

Well, Schweitzer blows... so... the choice should be pretty obvious.

I here when driving to schweitzer, its best to wear a white sheet and hood in order to fit in with the local population.

That's only from the west side, from the east side you have to know how to play accordion and wear lederhosens.
