World-class powder dump smothers Lookout Pass

WINTER SPORTS — Lookout Pass ski area has just been cited as having received “the most snowfall in the world” among reporting ski resorts during the past seven days.

The one week total: 6.5 FEET , most of which fell Sunday-Tuesday.

The distinction has just been distributed around the globe by Skiinfo.com , which collects daily reports and compiles stats from more than 2,000 ski areas in Europe and North America.

Earlier today I posted a photo with a first-hand report on Monday’s epic powder day at Lookout.

Of course, the high country throughout the Inland Northwest has been enjoying the late-winter dump.

Stevens Pass was No. 5 and Schweitzer was No. 6 in the world, as you can see on this skiinfo list .

And just a little farther north, Fernie (see photo above) isn’t doing so bad, either, reporting 32 inches in the past three days.
