Percentages are lower edges of NOAA probability bands, not exact mountain odds. Equal chances means no category is favored. Temperature and precipitation are separate signals; a wetter season does not establish a snowier one.

Official sourceCheck the free Red Barn shuttle before driving up SchweitzerRead tip & sources

Schweitzer describes a free winter shuttle from the Red Barn park-and-ride at North Boyer and Schweitzer Mountain Road to the Village. Check SPOT connections to reach the Red Barn, plus your ski day's first and last departures. The resort page still labels winter parking 2025/26 and says 2026/27 twilight dates are coming; do not assume the displayed timetable or older parking prices apply to your trip. This winter service is separate from the paid summer bike shuttle. Compare the confirmed bus itinerary with fuel and parking costs.

Official sourceCheck Schweitzer's RV rules before replacing a hotel stayRead tip & sources

Schweitzer's published policy permits free RV parking only at the fire-station lot southwest of the roundabout, with a maximum three consecutive nights unless staff approve longer. The lot has no hookups; RVs must be self-contained and occupied each night. Follow parking staff directions; vehicles may need to move. Confirm space and current winter access before travelling. Include RV rental, fuel and servicing in the lodging comparison; this does not establish permission for tent camping or a guaranteed parking reservation.
