The careful positioning of the hotel in a notch on the mountain, sitting at the confluence of two ranges, Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains, unites the existing structures, creating narrow walkable streets and multiple covered parking areas.<\/p>\n<p>The lodge offers stunning views of Lake Pend Oreille and serves as a ski-in, ski-out hub for year-round activities. The material color palette draws upon the architectural heritage of the Schweitzer basin, paying homage to the location.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel\u2019s design takes advantage of the steep site, incorporating a sheltered parking garage to protect it from year-round heavy snowfall, which can get up to 10,160 mm (400 in.) annually. The exterior showcases board-formed concrete, metal panels, timber siding, expansive glass, and glimpses of wood ceilings. The use of mass timber construction, including CLT, pays homage to the area\u2019s logging history and enhances the resort\u2019s warm, inviting atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, primary gathering spaces feature exposed CLT, glulam beams, and columns, offering a modern twist on a classic lodge aesthetic. The lobby and welcome area, situated above the underground parking, are inspired by vintage ski culture and local history, with guest rooms on three floors providing views of Lake Pend Oreille.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel also boasts two amenity areas: the Glass Room, a communal living space, and Crow\u2019s Bench, a fine dining restaurant. Guests can relax by the grand lobby fireplace, use the co-working space, or enjoy the outdoor terrace with an oversized hot tub and panoramic mountain views.<\/p>\n<p>A closer look at the materials and the suppliers follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>Exterior<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows: Andersen Commercial<\/li>\n<li>Metal roof panels: AEP Span<\/li>\n<li>Timber siding: Montana Timber Products.
