  As a native to northern Idaho, I have always defended my great region when others claim it is plagued with racism. As a longtime rider at Schweitzer mountain resort, I was disheartened to witness the racist events that took place here the weekend of the fourth of July. I was DD'ing for a large group that the establishment should have been thrilled to have as it could easily be expected to spend at least $300. It began upon entry, when the bouncer (a very large person, almost filled the entire door frame, didn't catch his name but would be very hard not to know from the description) said he didn't catch half of our IDs but it didn't matter because half of you were black anyway. Not sure what that meant other than maybe he didn't anticipate us being served? It isn't relevant, but not one of us was African American. There were a few people of Mexican and Simoan decent. When someone asked another worker if he was going to do something about the comment, he responded well he ain't wrong. Things were fine for a while after that. My friend sat down at the bar and was seated for approximately 20 minutes without being served at which point he asked if he could have a drink. A patron along the curved edge of the bar threw out a comment along the lines of he doesn't need to be served because he's Mexican. The bartender on that end, Logan, didn't rebuke him, but instead smiled. When asked why he wasn't serving him he didn't outright say race. He did make a remark about how "his group of people were the type to cause problems." When asked what that meant Logan just gave a smirk. At this point I want to make clear that it was Logan and the bouncer who were encouraging/provoking/spouting the racist comments and not the other bartender Dave, who apologized and provided my friend a free drink for the trouble. Thank you for being the one positive experience at this bar. My friend, rightfully upset but never physical, continued to ask Logan why he wasn't served from the other end of the bar and I'm assuming the bouncer heard. We rounded everyone up, ready to leave and would have been out of the bar without issue except for the big man guarding the door. This is the most mind boggling part to me as I believe a bouncer's job is to keep the peace, but he seemed to want to encourage a fight. To begin, I didn't know he had been involved until he flinched at me as I was walking out the door. Once outside he said, "Hey, white is right." A young woman happened to hear and asked him to say it again as he smirked inside the doorway. He stood over her intimidatingly and then asked her to come hit him after a short while. Another individual, I was told it was the cook but I don't know whether that's true or if it was another patron, called one of the other individuals outside a fat, ugly, B**** as well. I am horrified at the experience and ashamed to have defended the area so vehemently to friends from other places. Sandpoint was a place I hoped to live in the next few years but I have serious doubts now (Although I'm sure I can find people like this anywhere and shouldn't judge the city for it). I would be more than willing to give this bar another chance in the future and edit my review based upon that experience, but will certainly not do so unless Logan and the bouncer are no longer employed there. It's 2019. People are entitled to their beliefs, but voicing them in a place of business and altering service because of those beliefs is not okay. Please share this anywhere you can and let management know. The individuals, bouncer, and Logan, should be held accountable for their racist behavior.

  Logan and Heidi are the best bartenders in town, the drinks are magnificent depending on who's there. I won't go unless Logan or Heidi are there.
