Whitefish Mountain Resort (MT) - Community Reviews & Ratings

It was the first I had been there in 40 years was exactly what I remember and was exactly as what I was looking for fresh powder tree runs absolutely every turn was spectacular,was a little chilly but once you were moving was not a problem ,sun also came out so you no how nice that would be Awesome resort friendly staff and good food Loved it Gord

Whitefish Mountain Resort is an amazing Montana resort. I may be a little biased since it is my home mountain but It honestly is a great resort and beautiful place to visit with lots of cool terrain. You can easily access some backcountry riding, take insane powder tree runs and have incredible viewsif you are lucky you may even get to ride above the clouds and witness a beautiful inversion, (look up google images Whitefish Mountain Resort inversion and youll see what I mean) The mountain itself isnt massive but its super fun and playful. Usually you arent waiting around in busy lines (especially during the weekdays) but best to come after the holidays if you want to get more laps in and less waiting in lines. After your epic day of shredding I highly recommend checking out hellroaring saloon and getting their famous hellroaring nachos you will thank me later!

Wonderful privately owned resort. Great snow, value, friendly staff. Would highly recommend! Lots of runs, not too busy. Beautiful scenery.

Off the beaten path and off the usual resort circuits is what makes this place a true gem in US skiing. With plenty of terrain options for everyone, consistent snow, and never a lift line in sight, you'll spend far more of your time on snow and blasting pow. The tree skiing is unmatched anywhere. If you ever wanted to know the place, whitefish is the place!

Whitefish Mountain Resort is a hidden gem in NW Montana. Accessible by Amtrak (Empire Builder stops in Whitefish) and by air (Glacier park International Airport). The ski resort is 9 miles up the mountain from Whitefish town. For those staying in town, there is a free bus (S.N.O.W.BUS) that runs between the town and resort every 15 minutes or so. There are many lodging options (condos and homes) up the mountain, some managed by Whitefish Mountain Resort, others by VRBO and AirBnb. Whitefish town has similar options as well as a number of hotels and motels. Ski passes are among the most reasonably priced Ive run across, and there are options for purchasing in advance that lower the price further.The Base Lodge has a rental center, bar, restaurant, locker rental, gift shop, and lots of indoor seating for eating and relaxing. Great ski school for young and old, regardless of experience level. Access to the summit (6,800 ft.) recently was made significantly easier when a second high speed chairlift was added. Lift lines at those two chairlifts are rarely more than a minute or two long, and once on the mountain, shorter yet. The runs are spread around a north and south face dropping from the summit. Morning snow is usually softer on the back (north) side as the warm afternoons melt the front side, leading to some ice overnight. Both sides are predominantly blues and blacks with greens being mainly cat tracks. Blacks are split between trees and steeps with a few double diamonds thrown in. The front face offers a lot of real estate to traverse as well as access to the terrain park, which has numerous sizable jumps and an area with rails.A great option for dining on the mountain is Hellroaring Saloon. Rustic place with ski artifacts from the resorts history, great food, fun bar, and terrific view. Another option for lunch while at the resort (in addition to restaurants at the Summit House and Base Lodge) is Ed and Mullys. Located at the base of the terrain park in a small area called the Village that includes a few shops and a small convenience store, it offers typical pub fare. Finally, the place for enjoying a beer and apres ski camaraderie on the mountain (in the Village, right at the S.N.O.W.BUS stop) is the Bierstube). There are numerous excellent dining, drinking and shopping options in Whitefish town. Snow is predictably good with around 300 inches annually, temperatures rarely extreme, but fog not uncommon. Very family friendly resort still relatively under the radar that continues to expand and enhance its experience.

Good terrain if you don't get stuck on the lift. Broken down lifts continue to be a problem at this resort.

Whitefish is my absolute favorite mountain. They always have fun activities in addition to excellent skiing. All of the employees are super friendly and helpful. We stay on the mountain every and the accommodations are great.

Love this hill and this charming town! Always so fun skiing WMR! Summer and winter - its the best! Great variety of runs - especially love the tree runs!

Last year, I visited Whitefish with my grandmother, parents, and sister, and it was absolutely beautiful. We even did a polar plunge! Everyone at the resort was so nice, and the altitude was perfect. Me and my sister even met some friends night skiing on the lifts. Everyone was so friendly. (Xoxo Schachter and Levi households!)

Great resort, large with lots of options to choose from and has lots of variety. Lifts lines are quick and theres huckleberry milkshakes at the summit.

I have skied other areas in the USA and Canada, but fell in love with Whitefish and this Winter will be my 15th at Whitefish. Despite a lot of the runs facing south, the snow record and conditions have been excellent.

Overall an awesome place the back side is the place to be. Great Food and great runs they get a ton of snow every year. Overall a great pick

Pros are its a open mountain with wide variety of runs and not a lot of people depending on the day. Groomed runs are smooth and steady. Terrain Park is changed often with the obstacles. Overall great mountain for a calm day.

A great overalls mountain. Plenty of slopes for all level of skiers. Definitely a front runner for Montanas best mountain.

This mountain has a lot of terrain however it can be foggy and that can make or break your trip not to mention the amount of people. As of the last time I went 2023-2024 season the only way to get to most of the terrain was to take a lift to another lift to the top because their new high-speed quad was broken, and after talking to locals there o learned that it was open maybe two or three weekends of the season. It didn't really affect the trip that much but I waited in line for the first two lifts for around an hour. The view from the top is amazing and there are lots of terrain types.

No matter the conditions there will be terrain here to offer a wonderful day of skiing. This resort offers a small town resort feel while delivering terrain that any rider would find enjoyable.

The resort is an overall excellent location, with all types of skiing available. The ski school will move along to slowly for my taste, as they will hesitate to take you on blues. I would still recommend skiing for anyone who doesnt want to break the bank and have a good time on some great terrain.

Great place. Way underrated. Very affordable and you can also ski Fernie in Canada only 2+ hours away. Great town scene. Lots of housing. Skiing is awesome. Beautiful scenery

Have gone there many times although it is expensive paying about 80 and the food at the lodge being very exspensive the actual skiing which is why most people are there is very good and rides arent too bad
