The resort sees an average of 300 inches of snow on its 3,000 acres, and is as well known for a pleasant lack of lift lines as for its consistently good snow conditions. When the snow melts, Whitefish Mountain Resort becomes home to thrilling zip lines and an alpine slide, world-class downhill and cross-country mountain biking, and the unique Walk in the Treetops, in addition to spectacular hiking, water sports, fly fishing, whitewater rafting, Glacier National Park, and more available in the greater Whitefish area. It is the perfect base camp for a summer visit to Montana’s majestic Flathead Valley. « less

For skiers it's a winter wonderland, family friendly and a beautiful place to hang out. We love to sit inside by the roaring fireplace or outside by the firepit ...SUMMERTIME on the mountain is awesome. Hiking and my favorite Ziplining (we tried for the 1st time this past summer wow a lifetime experience, but you need to be able to... More

This looks like a really nice area with slopes most skiers should be able to handle. Everything was closed on 4-30, so all we could do was drive around looking. More

We all had a bash at ski or snowboard. It was huge fun. The boys made the most of it and maximized their time on the slopes. It was really family orientated, which is a big plus to me. I wold love to go back to Whitefish, Montana and snowboard at Whitefish Mountain Resort. More

My husband and I try to hit The Big every winter for some great snowboarding. The week between Christmas and New Year's the lines are pretty long at the lifts (if you consider 25-30 people waiting long) but the rest of the year there is only a few people in the lift line with you if there is a line...

Good variety of terrain, great atmosphere and perfect grooming on the blue trails. Take your picture with Jesus at the top of chair 2. See people with guns on their belt in town. America! More

My finance and I hadn't skied in over 10+ years, and the resort offers a wonderful two day learn to ski program (rental equipment, beginner lift tickets and lessons) for under $75.00. Our instructor, Alex, was wonderful and greatly improved my skiing and confidence during our first lesson. The second lesson he had us doing things on skis I didn't... More

We bought our multi passes at Costco for $99 for 2 -1 day ski passes, and skied 3 days in wonderful weather and conditions. Our 9 year old skied for $30 a day on a two day pass that we could extend for the 3rd day. It is cheaper to get a adult Costco pass from Costco that go with... More

Spent the day in hell, Fantastic! Great snow lot's of powder for March and it felt more like the middle of winter. Steep and Deep. We found lots of terrain that was fresh and untracked. Great spring break get away, and a gorgeous view from the top. More

I have been to this mountain twice and had fantastic experiences both times. The lift tickets are affordably priced and the food and drinks aren't expensive either. There are rarely any lift lines with the exceptions of days that there are races, but even these lines are quite managable compared to what I've been used to in Vermont and Colorado.... More
