At the bottom of Schweitzer Mountain, in the town of Sandpoint itself, an average of 72 inches of snow falls each winter. Sandpoint presents its visitors and residents alike a very relaxed, laid-back feel, particularly during its Hometown Christmas holiday season when candles burn bright in the windows of shops and office buildings. Meanwhile, out in the landscape surrounding Sandpoint, hikers, skaters and cross-country skiers enjoy the overpowering sensation of delightful silence, one of the most highly sought commodities in today's fast-paced society.
