BOISE — Snow is blanketing the Boise Foothills and mountains beyond, but it’s not truly winter in Idaho until ski season begins.
Going by that logic, winter officially begins in the Gem State on Saturday. Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area will be Idaho’s first ski resort to open, but it won’t attract anyone from the Treasure Valley.
The resort, located near Mullin in North Idaho, will be one of just 17 ski resorts in the Western U.S. to be open this weekend. According to the resort’s snow report, snow depth is at just 6 inches at the mountain’s base and 13 inches at the summit, though.
