Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort

Sandpoint, Idaho

Commercial, Industrial, & Residential - As one of the largest ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest, Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is not just a landmark destination—it’s a cornerstone client for Panhandle Electric. Our ongoing partnership with Schweitzer reflects both the scale of their operations and the versatility of our team.

Illuminating the Mountain

We’re proud to help bring the mountain to life after dark through the installation and maintenance of their night skiing lighting systems. These specialized projects combine high-output lighting with careful placement to enhance skier safety and experience while respecting the mountain’s natural beauty.

Supporting Resort Development

Beyond the slopes, Schweitzer continues to grow through major real estate and commercial developments. Panhandle Electric plays a key role in these projects, providing comprehensive electrical services for:

• Residence buildings that offer slopeside living for residents and seasonal staff
• Modern office spaces that serve the resort’s administrative and guest services teams
