Whitefish offers a variety of terrain, amazing tree skiing, and powder. You'll also get great Glacier National Park views from the mountain. Did I mention powder?

Whitefish Mountain Resort is located on Big Mountain, just a 10 minute drive from downtown Whitefish. The resort hasn't left it's mom and pop roots, even though it is up to date with state of the art equipment, the hometown local vibe prevails.

"Big Mountain" (to the locals) is the ski hill in NW Montana. Great terrain from powder to groomed runs to terrain parks.

I went on an "icy" day. Locals were complaining about the conditions, but by east coast standards, I'd call it powder.

Mountain Bike Big Mountain

Biking Big Mountain is a must-do when traveling to the scenic Flathead Valley. After leaving the town of Whitefish driving North, turn onto Big Mountain Road (big sign can't miss it). Drive up the road to the Village, purchase a day's ticket if you want to take advantage of lift-access riding ($35/adult), or start pedaling up the Summit Trail for free (8 miles switch backing up to the summit)...

Hike Whitefish Mountain via the Danny On Trail

The Danny On Trail starts from the base area of Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort and zig zags its way up to the summit. The trailhead is near the Chalet building/Hellroaring Saloon upper parking lot (there's a big sign). The trail passes through Douglas fir, western larch, spruce and fir trees. The sloping fields of grass and wildflowers in summer, spring and fall are covered with snow and shredde...

Hike to Apgar Lookout

Precursor: I completed this hike in November, hence the snow in the photos. Due to a lack of tree coverage, this hike is best suited for a cool summer day, or in the late spring and early autumn. It is doable in the heat of the summer, but be sure to pack plenty of water. This hike begins by trekking through a recovering forest, which was originally destroyed in the 2003 Roberts Fire. The firs...
