AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Idaho Panhandle
National Forests (IPNFs) and Lolo
National Forest (LNF) are preparing an
environmental impact statement (EIS) to
consider and disclose the anticipated
environmental effects of a proposal from
Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area
(Lookout Pass) to expand its special use
permit to upgrade and develop new
lifts, ski terrain, parking, access roads,
and guest service facilities. The
proposed project is located
approximately 12 miles east of Wallace,
Idaho, on National Forest System (NFS)
lands within Shoshone County, Idaho,
and Mineral County, Montana.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by May
5, 2014. The Draft EIS is expected to be
available for public review in winter
2015 and the Final EIS is expected in
summer 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
SWCA Environmental Consultants, 1220
SW Morrison St., Suite 700, Portland,
OR 97205. Comments may also be sent

Time, Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action: The
purpose of the proposed Lookout Ski
Area Expansion is to provide a highquality downhill skiing recreational
opportunity on the IPNFs and LNF.
Lookout Pass ski terrain is insufficient
to meet market demands, resulting in
diminished recreational experiences
and reduced economic viability for the
ski area. In the Lookout Pass Ski and
Recreation Area Master Development
Plan, Lookout Pass specifically
identified three social, economic, or
physical factors that necessitate the
development of additional terrain in
order to ensure continued, publicly
acceptable ski operations. These factors
are (1) diminished skier experiences
associated with overcrowding, increased
skier congestion, decreased safe
operating conditions, and inefficient
skier transport during high-visitation
days as well as inefficient skier
transport and trail use on low-visitation
days; (2) current ski terrain distribution
that does not match market demand;
and (3) concerns over the economic
viability of Lookout Pass and its ongoing
contribution to the local economy.
Expansion of Lookout Pass would
address these needs by providing more
skiable terrain and more efficient lift
systems to enable the ski area to remain
economically viable while ensuring a
high-quality recreation experience for a
wider range and number of skiers. This
action would move the ski area toward
a desired condition outlined in the
Idaho Panhandle National Forests Land
Management Plan and the Lolo National
Forest Plan and respond to the Forest
Plans’ goals and objectives.
Proposed Action: The IPNFs and LNF
propose to expand the existing Lookout
