Ski free at Lookout Pass Friday

Ski for free with food donation at Lookout Pass on Friday.

Any three non-perishable food items will be accepted in exchange for a lift ticket.

According to Second Harvest, the most needed food items include protein in the form of peanut butter, canned meat, soups, chili, stews, boxed dinners and beans.

Other most needed foods include canned fruits and vegetables, canned or boxed juices, boxed mashed potatoes and dried fruit. Grains are also needed, such as pasta, rice, flour, baking and stuffing mixes and healthy cereals.

Second Harvest provides 1.7 million pounds of donated food each month to help feed hungry people. Food collected at Lookout Pass this Friday benefits Real Life Ministries in Pinehurst, one of 250 emergency food pantries throughout Eastern Washington and North Idaho in the Second Harvest network.

Also, skiers and riders age 12 and up bringing food Friday can use the money they save to try a giant stunt airbag that will be set up under the biggest jump in Lookout's frontside terrain park through Sunday.

The special feature, manufactured by U.S. Airbag, is a 50-foot by 50-foot inflatable stunt cushion 10 feet tall. It reduces the risk of injury by partially deflating to absorb the force of a jumper's impact.

Jump tickets will be $5 for 2 jumps; $10 for 5 jumps or $25 for 15 jumps.
