The Great Escape Quad will be running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for complimentary chairlift rides. The scenic ride takes guests to Schweitzer's 6,400-foot summit where views of Idaho, Washington, Montana and Canada can be enjoyed.
There will be food, too.
"We view this event as a great way to get the community together in welcoming summer," said Mary Weber-Quinn, Director of Events and Activities. "It's been a long spring and we're ready to bring this mountain to life again for summer time."
Schweitzer's cross country biking trails and lift accessed downhill trails are either buried in snow or still a bit soggy, and will not be open this weekend.
