Being around mountains and water has become an absolute for my family and me. Time spent in Colorado, yet being from Michigan originally, has set the stage for a dual love of elevation and the need for water. Being able to combine both of these passions in such a wonderful setting like Sandpoint is surreal.
At work or play, Schweitzer always makes you feel like you’re surrounded by family! If you’re looking for blissful memories, heartfelt smiles, and legitimate good times; Schweitzer is the place for you! With our beautiful mountain backdrop, Schweitzer becomes the perfect setting for your group to come and enjoy life.
As Senior Sales Manager, I am here to help organize and plan the details of your stay. Whether you are hosting a corporate event, joining us as a ski club, hosting a church retreat, or reuniting your family for a week of fun, Schweitzer Mountain Resort has something unique and memorable to offer your group.

Born and raised in the Midwest, but always inspired and intrigued with majestic mountains and large bodies of water, I knew I had found my destiny the first time I crossed the Long Bridge! What an ideal location, surrounded by 3 mountain ranges, beautiful Lake Pend Oreille and the largest and best ski area in Idaho! The perfect place to connect and play with family and friends creating a lifetime of lasting memories!
I have been in sales leadership the majority of my adult life, traveling throughout the USA and abroad with a major focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. I truly believe in the work philosophy “Love what you do” and I am excited to bring my experience to the mountain, working with the Group Sales Team. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience Schweitzer Mountain Resort in various capacities: as a corporate customer, from a family perspective (2 engagements, 2 weddings) and as a 3rd party vendor which gives me insight to the passionate, caring culture that Schweitzer lives by!
Having the opportunity to promote and share the wonders of Schweitzer Mountain Resort is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting great people, building lasting relationships while helping them create their own memories for years to come!

Cassandra Koszarek, Group Sales Specialist
I’ve been playing on mountains and sailing coastlines with my family my whole life, so it was a natural step for me to begin a career bringing people together to enjoy outdoor adventures and gorgeous surroundings. I started working with mountain-bound groups of all kinds in the Southern Rockies of New Mexico, and I found myself naturally drawn to the romance and joy of wedding events in particular. Before I knew it, I became enthralled with the opportunity to welcome couples into the heart of the mountains for their perfect day so I became a wedding specialist.
I had never been to Idaho before deciding to move here as a new member of the Schweitzer team, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to be near the water as well as on the mountain. It didn’t take much effort to convince my fiancé to start a new adventure with me. We packed our things and prepared for a long road trip with our big fluffy cat in tow. The journey proved to be absolutely stunning, and we were beyond excited when we arrived to the lakeshore and mountain foothills.
I started immediately at Schweitzer as a member of the Cirque team; I couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin exploring my new home. The entire mountain is brimming with activity, and the community couldn’t be friendlier. I love that I have the chance to bring the beauty of Schweitzer and the surrounding region to groups of people that enjoy the outdoors.
See you on the mountain!

Many years ago, my dad retired from the Navy and moved our family to North Idaho. He purchased a marina on the southern end of Lake Pend Oreille in Bayview, Idaho. At a young age I found myself in a whole new environmental setting and lifestyle: a way of life that included having to help run a public marina, socializing with the boat owners who moored their boats with us, and being in the public eye. I found I loved helping people, especially when it came to being a part of making those around me smile.
I have since moved from the southern end of this gorgeous lake to the northern end. Now I live in Sandpoint with my husband and couldn’t be happier. After all these years I am still in awe of North Idaho’s mountains, lakes, beautiful open skies, and endless opportunity for outdoor adventures.
Over the years I have stayed in customer service and hospitality-based positions here in Sandpoint, and have enjoyed bringing my passion for excellent service to the area. I am extremely excited about joining the Schweitzer Mountain Group Sales team as the Fulfillment Coordinating Specialist. This position suites my personality perfectly and my military upbringing taught me to appreciate a sharp eye for detail. I absolutely still love to make people smile, and now I get to help someone’s special event become everything they could wish for with my expertise in flawless event execution: from menu planning to linen color and all the details in between. Come join us on the mountain and let our team make your event one that you will remember for years to come.
