We won’t be coming back

Ski girl

I’m here with a ski club from the east coast; there are nearly 40 of us. And the majority of our group agrees that we don’t want to waste another trip here again. Weather is usually horrible here. The runs are hardly ever groomed. The signs on the mountain on where the runs go are not nearly enough to what is needed and many of us get lost often and end up on runs we don’t intend on being on. There are way better places to ski.

Worst ski trip I've ever taken honestly. I was super stoked for this, my home mountain ABasin in Colorado so I was looking forward to the renowned PNW-lite powder and new freeriding terrain as a change of pace. It rained for 3 straight days and made the entire mountain a cruddy, sticky mess with insane avalanche risk. I expected poor visibility but this is pointless. Even when the fog clears for a couple minutes there appears to be hardly any signage where runs intersect making it extremely difficult to stay with your buddies unless you're tied together.

Probably a great mountain for locals that can come/go as the weather changes but for everyone else the low elevation makes it easy for rain to ruin your trip. If you've got a limited number of days to ski go someplace with more reliable conditions.

I wanted to like it, but didn’t. The mountain is small, and there’s one lift to get onto the mountain so you still wait in long lines. The weather was COLD and cloudy — never saw the sun! Apparently that’s the norm. It’s not easy to get to unless you live out west. There is no village — you have to drive into town and even then it’s tiny. As for the skiing itself — there are moguls everywhere! Not my family’s idea of fun. We’ll stick with Big Sky or Colorado resorts from here on.

Whitefish Mountain Resort is over rated. The runs are nice when you can see them. We had fog most everyday, we were told that there are very few days when the sun shines in winter.

There is nothing to do at the resort after 7:00, everything on the mountain closes. You have to drive or take a bus into town for dinner or drinks.

Needed warmer gloves. There were three shops, summit, village and base lodge, on the mountain and they all sold the same things. Nothing that would fit me.

I've been coming to this mountain for years because I have family in the area. It's a fantastic mountain and a great bargain compared to many similar resorts. Barring major holidays, it's generally uncrowned. If you're looking for some nice groomers, this is the place to go. There are plenty of blue runs with nice, even pitch. There is definitely some great advanced terrain as well, but sometimes you have to search for it. Lucky for me, my family members know all the good terrain, but I'm not sure I would find it on my own. The base lodge is great for families and there is also plenty of beginner terrain. The nightlife on the mountain isn't super inspiring, but the town of Whitefish has some great bars and restaurants. Definitely worth a visit!

Great mountain, sleepy town

Cass

Upside: Big mountain, lots of intermediate runs, no lift lines. There were times where I'd be on a run and realize that I hadn't seen another person in 10 minutes. Which was great.

The downside of this was that there weren't many opportunities to meet new people to hang out with in the evening. Being from out of town, it would have been nice to meet up with others in a similar boat, but it seemed to be mostly locals and families.

Overall though, a great mountain.
