"Whitefish sprawls across 3,000 skiable acres with 2,350 feet of vertical, perched above the north end of the Flathead Valley in Montana. From afar, it has a reputation as a family-friendly hill-and it absolutely delivers on that front-but scratch the surface, and you'll find a mountain with depth: freestyle events, legit backcountry access, and even Skimo competitions. With multiple direct flights into Glacier Park International Airport, access is refreshingly easy for a destination that still feels undiscovered."
"Driving into Flathead Valley from Sandpoint, Idaho, we couldn't ignore the broader reality of the season. Lakes that are normally locked in ice were showing open water, and snow coverage across the West had been inconsistent. But as we rolled into the Flathead Valley, the mountain's south-facing front gleamed white from top to bottom. It was Presidents' Day-our first day on the hill-and our optimism was high."
"With insider beta from our friends, we aimed for the Pine Lot at the Base Lodge. Pro tip: park on the left as you drive in. From the far end of the lot, a short glide track takes you straight down to the Base Lodge and lifts 4, 6, 9, and 10. The right-side lots require a bit of walking gymnastics-not a deal-breaker, but why work harder than you have to?"
Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana offers 3,000 skiable acres and 2,350 feet of vertical above the north end of the Flathead Valley. The mountain delivers family-friendly groomers plus deeper offerings including freestyle events, legitimate backcountry access, and Skimo competitions. Multiple direct flights into Glacier Park International Airport simplify travel. Parking at the Pine Lot left side provides a short glide to the Base Lodge and lifts 4, 6, 9, and 10; right-side lots require more walking. A SnowBus shuttle serves downtown Whitefish, dropping at the Base Lodge and the Village. Recent weather included scattered open water and a high-elevation refresh.
