Photo by Brian Schott Whitefish Mountain Resort was named one of The Weather Channel’s “Ten Most Scenic Resorts,” ranking No. 6 on the list. It’s not difficult to see why. A crystal clear day on the summit of Big Mountain reveals spectacular views into Glacier National Park, its snow-white fortress of mountains rising like a parapet to the [...] Opening weekend at Whitefish Mountain Resort was a near-perfect combination of early-season powder and fast-moving lift lines – a real two-mitten drooler – and as the weekend draws nearer and we legions of working stiffs live vicariously through those fortunate few who are grinning through face shots on untouched powder lines, the word on the hill [...] As the snow piles up on Big Mountain this week just in time for opening day, so too have the praise and accolades been heaped on Whitefish Mountain Resort with abandon, first by National Geographic Adventure, which named Whitefish one of the World’s 25 Best Ski Towns, and then by Trip Advisor, which ranked [...] The iconic Jesus statue on Whitefish Mountain Resort’s Big Mountain has tolerated more than its share of irreverent behavior through the years, but, until recently, it had never been sued. Jesus displayed admirable stoicism back when a handful of freestyle skiers and snowboarders started joking about “Grail Grinds” and “Jibs for Jesus,” which were all fun and [...] Whitefish Mountain Resort trounced Whistler in the first round of Powder magazine’s “Ski Town Throwdown” contest, besting the brute of British Columbia 1,730 to 1,005.

Voting takes place Nov. 14 – 15, and individuals can cast votes both days. Here’s the link to [...] Snowy Big Sky Resort is trying to entice snow-deprived Colorado and Tahoe skiers and riders to Montana in January. For the month of January, skiers with the Epic Pass from Vail Resorts in Colorado and California will ski for free at Big Sky. Rather than complain about the lack of snow, Big Sky is “spreading the love” [...] What’s almost better than a pot of gold? Twelve inches of new snow! Lost Trail opened on St. Patrick’s Day with a foot of new snow. Plus, today the mountain is offering 2-for-1 day lift tickets today. Don’t forget to wear your green snowsuit! Check out a video shot by Lost Trail’s Will Moss on Saturday at the [...] Time to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk. You think you can ski a lot of vertical feet? You scoff at any run that doesn’t start at the top and end at the lodge? It’s time to PROVE IT! This Sunday is the inaugural Vertical Challenge at Snowbowl. Teams of two will compete to see [...] |
