LOOKOUT PASS, Idaho – Spring may have arrived, but the snow is still holding strong in the mountains. Skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of the lingering winter conditions with a special offer: free skiing at Lookout Pass Ski & Recreation Area on April 1, simply by presenting a voucher.
The resort added an element of humor to its announcement, releasing an early April Fools’ Day press statement with the headline: “Lookout Pass to Offer Skiing and Snowboarding Through the Summer!”
The statement claimed that Lookout Pass had received an impressive 423 inches of snowfall this season and had adjusted its operational plans accordingly to extend skiing and riding throughout the summer—an unprecedented move for the Inland Northwest. However, the press release included a link that revealed the joke, making for a clever April Fools’ prank.
While the summer skiing announcement was just a playful tease, the free skiing deal on April 1 is very real. Spring conditions at Lookout Pass remain favorable, offering an excellent opportunity for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy the slopes at no cost.
Don’t fall for the prank, but do take advantage of this rare chance to ski for free!
