10:45am: It is still lightly snowing and there are close to 2" everywhere with some deeper spots. The groomers first thing left you with that feeling of floating down the mountain. The snow is pretty thick so it is easy to surf the top of it. North facing slopes are skiing the best off groomed. The stuff that has been baking in the sun was a little more set up and not as soft. Play around today and find some good stuff.

8:00am: The snow is still falling but it is coming down lighter than it was. There is probably 2" of new snow on top by now. The visibility looks pretty good so come on up and enjoy some great turns.

This Week's Events:

Friday: Whitefish Winter Classic takes place with NFL Players signing autographs at the summit house.

Saturday: 11th Annual Nate Chute Hawaiian Classic. Snow Boarders from all over the country come for this event

Sunday: The Hawaiian Classic continues to dominate the Backside.

For more information: Calendar of Events page.

This could be pretty good this afternoon. Big Dave

Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.

Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
