Whitefish Mountain Resort (formerly Big Mountain Resort) has been one of America's favorite destinations for good times, good people and good snow since 1947. Rising above the historic railroad town of Whitefish, the resort has gained notoriety for its laid-back vibe, world-class skiing and spectacular summer recreation. Ranked in the top 20 in SKI magazine's annual reader survey, it is just as well known for a pleasant lack of lift lines as it is for friendly people and deep powder. The resort's slopes fan out to more than 3,000 acres and receive more than 300 inches of average snowfall. Less than 20 miles from Glacier Park International Airport, the Mountain Village offers a full range of amenities, including fine dining, shopping, entertainment and family-friendly activities.

 SPECIAL NOTES/EVENTS:
Well, the 2008-2009 ski season has drawn to a close, and quite a close it was: nearly 4 feet of unseasonably perfect powder in the last two weeks, and two amazing sunny days for the Pond Skim and closing weekend.Thank you to everyone who supported us this winter. Without you - our pass holders, destination visitors, and everyone in between - Whitefish Mountan Resort would be just a big empty pile of [deep, perfect, Rocky Mountain] snow.Be sure to come see us this summer. We're opening a pretty amazing new 2-hour zip line tour (50 mph+, more than 100 feet off the ground, and some side-by-side action), a new alpine slide on the Chair 6 slope, and expanding our downhill and beginner mountain biking terrain.Okay, that's it. Spring is officially here, so get those bikes tuned up, break out the kayaks, plant those tomatoes, and before you know it, we'll see you right back here, on the hill.-The staff at Whitefish Mountain Resort-
