    For the Winter “Time of Your Life”…

    Wow! What an AMAZING experience we had last Sunday (01.15.23) snowmobiling on Schweitzer Mountain! Our guide, Sage, was professional, flexible, knowledgeable and down right FUN! The machines were beautiful, new and so easy to operate. Our afternoon two hour trip took us by stunning vistas, with a terrific mountain valley photo shoot stop. All the Selkirk Powder Staff were so helpful, friendly, and pleasantly professional. We can’t wait to come back! My 74 year old husband was riding for the FIRST TIME…and now he’s HOOKED!
