Resort:
Whitefish Montana is known for its small-town hospitality which you will feel from the time you arrive till the time you leave. Whitefish is a genuine small town with unique restaurants, breweries, shops, and galleries located on the shores of Whitefish Lake surrounded by scenic mountains. Whitefish Mountain Resort is just a short distance from town. It's an old-school Montana skier's mountain, no crowds, no lift lines, no pretensions, and no high price tags. Don't be fooled though it has legit skiing, glades, steeps, and groomers over 3,000 plus acres. If a town and a mountain isn't enough there is also Glacier National Park just 30 minutes away. If skiing or boarding is not your thing, you can snowshoe, cross country ski, go dog-sledding, ice fishing, snowmobiling, fat tire bike riding, or take a sleigh ride. So if you are a laid back serious skier or snowboarder, beginner, intermediate or expert who hates crowds, likes genuine people, and wants value...Whitefish is for you.

Video introduction to Whitefish
Voted number 6 by Ski Magazine readers for Western Ski Resorts. Whitefish Mountain has over 3,000 acres of skiable terrain ranging from blue groomers, glades, steeps, and chutes. Start the day on a long blue groomer aptly titled "Inspiration" take in the views of Glacier National Park and the valley. If you are looking for more blues stay on the front side or head to the Northside. If you want some thigh burning steeps, glades, or chutes, Hellroaring Basin is for you. Don't miss the skiing in the North Bowl. For fans of Terrain Parks, there are four featuring boxes, rails, and jumps. Additionally, there is a Skier/Boarder cross course known as the Goat Haunt with banked turns, jumps and rollers. There is plenty to keep eveyone busy for the typical ski week and longer. With short to no lift lines, everyone will rack up the vertical feet. You also might see a Snow Ghost. What's new since our last trip and will add to the experience: Whitefish’s first high-speed six-pack, the Snow Ghost Express, will run from the base to the top of Inspiration Ridge, replacing the circa-1978 Chair 4 and cutting the ride time to the upper mountain down to seven minutes. Plus: Chair 8 moved to a higher spot on the slopes to facilitate opening it earlier in the season. It also serves six new trails in Hellroaring Basin, bumping the resort’s total number of runs from 105 to 111.
