As more snowfall is also predicted for the coming week, skiers and riders will be waxing their boards in eager anticipation of the unexpected boon.

It's supposed to keep on snowing, and we'll be opening in the middle of a snowstorm."
Lookout Pass plans to run the lifts Friday through Sunday this weekend.
