Two ski resorts postpone opening

Warm weather and rain keep skiiers from 49° and Lookout on Friday

Staff reports
Lookout Pass had to postpone its opening day until Saturday as strong winds and warmer than anticipated temperatures delayed skiing. The ski area sent out a news release that said snow and colder temperatures forecast for Friday night and Saturday should make for good conditions on Saturday. Skiing at 49° North Mountain Resort is on hold, too. The resort in the mountains east of Chewelah said the snow base needs to be rebuilt as temperatures are expected to fall in the next few days with a chance of snowfall.
