SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Lookout Pass Ski Area on the Idaho-Montana divide is planning a $20 million expansion that would more than quadruple its terrain, add eight chairlifts and a second base area, and encompass two additional peaks.
The Spokesman Review reports the ski area submitted a 20-year plan to the U.S. Forest Service that considers the improvements in phases.
The ski area operates on national forest land under a special use permit. The plan is subject to environmental reviews and will involve input from officials with the Idaho Panhandle and Lolo National Forests.
Chief executive Phil Edholm says he designed the plan with careful consideration of the area.
