North–South Ski Bowl
North–South Ski Bowl was a modest ski area in the western United States, located in northern Idaho in the Hoodoo Mountains of southern Benewah County. Its bowl-shaped slope in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest faced northeast and the vertical drop was just under on Dennis Mountain, accessed from State Highway 6, south of Emida and north of Harvard. An "upside-down" ski area, the parking lot and lodge were at the top, less than a mile east of the highway, formerly designated as 95A (U.S. 95 Alternate). The access road meets the highway at its crest ("Harvard Hill"), just under , and climbs about ; the border with Latah County is approximately south. History With a day lodge built in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the ski area was developed by the U.S. Forest Service, and originally owned and operated by Washington State College (Pullman is approximately southwest, about an hour by vehicle). In the early 1950s, it was known as the "St. Joe Ski Bowl," and prior to that as the "Emida Ski Bowl." After a poor snow year in 1958, it was sold to a private owner, Fred Craner
