| - Lookout Pass is a ski area in northern Idaho on the Montana border, 4 miles (7 km) east of Mullan on Interstate 90. It has a summit elevation of 5650 feet (1722 m) on Runt Mountain with a vertical drop of 1150 feet (350 m) on the northeast-facing slopes. New terrain was opened on the Montana side of the border in December 2003. There are two chairlifts and a rope tow at the area, whose average annual snowfall exceeds 350 inches (889 cm). Lookout Pass is considered the eastern boundary of Idaho's Silver Valley. The elevation of the pass itself on I-90 is 4720 feet (1438 m). The historic Mullan Pass, constructed as a wagon road in 1860, is about 3 miles (5 km) east-northeast as the crow flies, at an elevation of 5168 feet (1575 m). Opened in 1935, Lookout Pass ski area operates under a special-use permit of the U.S. Forest Service, in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests (formerly the Coeur d'Alene National Forest). Lookout Pass operates five days per week (Thursday through Monday) during the ski season, and daily during the Christmas vacation break. A new portion of the ski area opened on December 26, 2003 on the Montana side of the border (which in this instance is due south, see topo map). The new Timber Wolf double chair and five new runs increased the vertical drop (by lowering the base), and the longest new run 1.2 miles (2 km) in length. Two of the new runs are rated advanced and three are rated intermediate, with views of the St. Regis and Copper Basins. Additional expansion on the Montana side is scheduled for 2006.
