I used to go there, and yea if your serious about skiing and can get up really early after drinking all night most people go to Schweitzer. hopefully you have people to ski with from sand point because your going to be alone most of the time. most people bailed on me because they thought they would be too hung over.
Yo me and two homies from WSU snagged some passes to Schweitzer so we'll be going a lot. Also, if anyone knows of some sick urban spots in Moscow, let me know and I'd be down to hit them with you.
