Eagle Peak at Lookout Pass doubles the terrain and the fun!

Hi all, 

Wendy and I did a road trip to N. Idaho recently, visiting the new Eagle Peak mountain, a big  500-acre addition to Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area. 

We hit Lookout on a day when it had 10-14" of new snow that morning! And we were fortunate to have three excellent tour guides - friends from Coeur d'Alene Dave and Carol Lindsay and Randy Bell.

I wrote about the whole three-day trip, in which we also skied Silver Mountain on a powder day, skied Lookout on a sunny day, and stayed at the base of Silver Mountain in the newer high-rise condo units there next to the gondola. I also recommend some places to eat and drink beer. 

See my trip report online at Ski Idaho. 

Put the idea of taking a swing through N. Idaho to ski Lookout, Silver and Schweitzer on your list for this spring or next winter, it's definitely worth it! Lookout stays open through April 16 this year.
