Whitefish Overview
Powder Perspective
Like the state of Montana, Whitefish is big and open. The resort is rarely crowded and with the dry snow covering a variety of terrain, including open bowls and good tree skiing, Whitefish is one of Montana's best kept secrets. Be sure to explore Schmidt's Chute on the North Bowl Face in addition to N.B.C. and Whitey's lower down on the North Bowl flank.
Resort Overview
For more than 60 years, Whitefish Mountain Resort has been providing skiers in the know with good times, great people and deep snow. Rising above historic Whitefish, Montana, and boasting more than 3,000 acres of bowls, chutes and glades, Whitefish Mountain Resort is just as well known for a lack of lift lines as it is for friendly people, deep powder and wallet-friendly pricing.
Terrain Breakdown
Whitefish is 50-percent expert terrain and 35-percent intermediate, with 360-degree skiing off the summit providing steep, deep lines and virtually no lift lines. The Fishbowl Terrain Park has three parks from beginner to advanced. Night skiing lights up the nights (and the terrain park) on Fridays, Saturdays and select holidays.
