Group working on Stevens Peak winter backcountry plan eyes Lookout Pass expansion
WINTER SPORTS -- The Stevens Peak Backcountry Coalition has posted an updated map showing a proposed Stevens Peak Backcountry Winter Non-Motorized Area. The proposal is geared to maintaining a sanctuary of peacefulness among the expansion plans for the Lookout Pass Ski Area as well as the expanding range of snowmobiles.
The group also is addressing some scrutiny to the location of a yurt proposed by North Idaho College.
The SPBC is working to preserve a winter non-motorized recreation area of about 6,500 acres in the Idaho Panhandle and Lolo national forests near Lookout Pass.
