Welcome to Halloween week around Schweitzer, October 26 through November 1. Ski season leads the calendar even though the lifts are not turning yet. Schweitzer is still in its off-season, with no ski operations this week, and the resort plans to open on Friday, November 27, conditions permitting. Opening day is 32 days out, so check gear and passes, and mark two save-the-dates: Warren Miller's Days Off at the Panida on Saturday, November 7, and the SARS Ski Swap on Saturday, November 14, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bonner County Fairgrounds in Sandpoint.

Business Spotlight: Pend d'Oreille Winery Has Poured Sandpoint Stories Since 1995

Guests gather at tables inside the Pend d'Oreille Winery tasting room in Sandpoint, beneath its illuminated winery logo on a brick wall.

On a fall afternoon in downtown Sandpoint, after the drive down from Schweitzer, there is a brick-walled room where the day slows down over a glass of wine. That room is the tasting room of Pend d'Oreille Winery on Cedar Street, and the winery sums up its invitation plainly: wine, friends and food. Part of Sandpoint since 1995, it gives visitors staying on the mountain an easy evening in town, and locals a familiar place to gather, taste something made close to home, and linger a little longer.

Business Spotlight: Evans Brothers Coffee, Born on Schweitzer Chairlift Rides

Guests relax with coffee inside the Evans Brothers Coffee cafe next to its Sandpoint roastery.

Some of Sandpoint's best ideas start on a chairlift, and Evans Brothers Coffee is one of them. Brothers Rick and Randy Evans, both passionate skiers, developed their vision for a coffee company over long chairlift rides at Schweitzer Mountain Resort during the winter of 2008/2009. In the summer of 2009 they made it real, founding Evans Brothers Coffee in Sandpoint with a simple ambition: build something unique and enduring around a great cup of coffee.
