I know you believe that you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure that you realize that what you think you heard is not really what I meant. The side that is over there is really the opposite side that you were on and then the other side is the side that is over there if you are over here. Just keeping looking and you will find out what you may pass.
The apex of three sides leads to this ski patrol hut.
The mid-size ski mountains of the west do not get as much publicity as the big ski resorts. With that being said, sometimes the resorts that are just big enough can offer a different experiance. Take this as an example. Your over 40. Easy to look back to the twentys and thirtys, dread going to the fiftys and sixtys. If you are already there, how about a quarter of Benjamin lift ticket? Confused? Just pay it on the Boomer Fridays and you are set. $75 bucks still in your pocket. Look Out, this is not one to Pass, but you may be in Idaho on one slope and then the next slope it will be Montana. Or the option to get a two for one ticket. Pass Out, you Looker!
I-90, is on one side, Idaho another, and Montana on the third of a delightful resort called Lookout Pass. Why Lookout? At least Look Up at the array of icicles hanging, slowly getting closer to the tops of the mohawk ski hats. Whether you are on one side or the other two, you will always return to the same top spot, where a relic hut full of ski patrollers will share a tale or two. Snow makes a pit stop here, as in piles and piles of the white winter delight, to refuel that last pass you had just made. If you can be still, be quiet, you’ll be the lookout, for it can be heard, far down the pass, that sound, the sound of steps, of the Hiawatha, the route of old, the route of the pass.
A Benjamin is a bill, a Jennings is a marketing DR, and is also a Bill. Creative is the motto for this Lookout of the ID./MT. pass, a brand will be left, as openess runs deep here and skiers leave with rose colored cheeks. Bosses they are not, as owners of the Lookout Pass love all and cherish their dogs. MauiSkiBus.com was right front row and center, brillant yellow on the white background of that deep snow. A return here is EZ, just a simper idle from the I-90, the current cement route of the Hiawatha, the route of those steps. Silence will be the must, as padded steps can be heard by the lookout, high up the pass.
