Lookout Pass, located on the Idaho/Montana border off Exit 0 on I-90, is home of some of the best snow, easiest access and most-affordable prices in the region. It's no wonder Lookout Pass was voted the most family-friendly mountain resort in the Pacific Northwest by OnTheSnow visitors. They are also home to the Lookout Pass Famous Free Ski School for kids. You'll find four lifts serving 34 named runs and acres of great tree skiing. But what skiers and riders love most about Lookout is an average of more than 400 inches of light, dry powder snow annually.

Best ski area regionally.. Great small-hill vibe and some of the most and best snow in the state. It has become too crowded on weekends in recent years with the local population boom. Week days are still very relaxed with very short lift lines. Bad office management experiences should not be confuse…
