This is a great ski area. I skied on a weekend with no lift lines and a nice local atmosphere. Fun and varied terrain with glades, steeps, cruisers, good drops for the experts and decent vertical (so the runs were pretty long). The mountain is bigger than you would expect and it would take a few days to ski every run. I can imagine on a powder day it would be amazing.
This was our second year in a row visiting big mtn. There is tons of terriane for all levels. The town of Whitefish is awesome lots of places to eat. This resort is a hidden gem !
They have had very little snow this season but, they do a great job of preserving what they have. There were plenty of areas for my beginner skiers to be on for the three days we were there. The lift attendants were great. They had three chalets that serve food. The food was good and they have large portions. The place was really empty during the week. I am sure that is different if there is significant snow. I will take less people any day. Will return for sure next year.
Great resort with fantastic skiing for beginners to expert. Beautiful views of Glacier National Park from the top of the mountain. Even though there was no recent snow there had been enough through the season to get by. Freezing temperatures at night and plus during the day made it skiable around 10:30am through until 4:00. Great value skiing and whitefish is just a generally good place to be.
Unfortunately, the snow was disappointing. Rock hard ice, except where it had been groomed. I am told this was a fluke for February - I might go back someday if I know there will be fresh snow. The area is beautiful, Glacier National Park is nearby, and the town of Whitefish is cute and trendy.
Well groomed, super helpful and nice people, lots of mountain to ski with a variety of levels. There are lockers for keeping skis and boots overnight. I had my skis waxed and they did a great job. They could improve their food options.
From the price to the terrain to the service I am always so impressed with this resort. You wont be disappointed here. The value is incredible for the amount of terrain you get. Not to mention they added a new chairlift with a bunch of new terrain. That is awesome!!! Always impressed with the service you get here and how welcoming the staff is. Everyone is just happy to be here! Also if you aren't a skier or snowboarder then you should come here in the summer time. It has zip lining and mountain biking as well as scenic chairlift rides. It is a great place to go and enjoy yourself and the outdoors.
Had a great time skiing but it rained a few days. So many trails to choose from. I especially like the drop off area- that is convenient and access to the ski area is quick. I also like the summit area where they have all facilities available. Backside of mountain always good. We bought our tickets at Costco - in Lethbridge and then Kalispell. Great pricing and better value than some of our Canadian ski destinations. Would like to go back again - 2nd time we have been there.
This is easily one of our favourite ski resorts. On this trip, the weather was unseasonably warm which made for spring-like conditions in February! Though that made for crusty and/or slushy snow, it also was absolutely beautiful skiing under the sunny blue skies and being able to see the full 360 degree view from the top. And there was still plenty of snow depth so that all of our favourite back side runs were open, including George's Gorge. Fantastic day of skiing!
I absolutely LOVE coming down to Whitefish! Last year we were spoilt with endless powder days so we were a little worried it wouldn't be quite the same this year - but the snow was still really good and it's such a big area you can just rip around and enjoy everything.On a powder day drop into the bowls and through the treesOn days like last week enjoy the bluebird, and try out the park there are 3!The views are stunning - all across the lake and valleys.I must give credit to all the lifties - everyone is always really friendly and helpful.Thanks everyone from the crazy girls in the animal onesies we will see you next year!
