The great Sandpoint Chairlift Pitch Contest at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint today. Contestants rode a chairlift up to 6000 feet, pitching their start-up business to judges for prizes, all in an effort to grow emerging businesses in the outdoor and recreation industry in that community. Shown here (from left):
