Schweitzer Ski Cabin
Sandpoint, Idaho
2006
Alpine Retreat
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Schweitzer Mountain, this ski-in, ski-out cabin blends classic alpine charm with modern mountain architecture for the ultimate retreat in all seasons. Clad in cedar shingles with exposed wood structural elements, the cabin embraces the warmth and tradition of a classic ski lodge, while its bold roof forms, black-trimmed windows, and sleek detailing introduce a contemporary edge. Designed for both function and aesthetics, the asphalt roof shingles are engineered to retain snow, ensuring safety and efficiency in the region’s extreme snowfall.
Large windows stretch to meet the hand-stacked roof structure, immersing the interior in natural light while framing stunning panoramic views of the surrounding alpine terrain. The home’s striking overhang above the garage creates a dramatic architectural moment, sheltering the entrance below. A heated back patio enhances winter livability, providing a cozy, year-round outdoor experience in the heart of this rugged, snow-covered paradise.
