– The Staff of Whitefish Mountain Resort

So that we can all have a pleasant experience, we’re asking our guests to adhere to a common sense decency policy when interacting with others on the mountain. Please review our full Conduct Policy guidelines here.

Show common courtesy to fellow resort guests and our resort employees. Do not use profanity or engage in unsafe, illegal or offensive behavior. Do not bring dangerous or hazardous materials on site.

Smoking is not permitted in the lift lines and in all indoor spaces.

Respect fellow guests and be responsive to direction from resort employees while skiing and riding, waiting in lift lines, using our various indoor facilities or attending our various events.

Comply with all notices and all directions and requests of any resort employee or security personnel.

It is your responsibility to read through the entire Uphill Travel Policy and study the Access Routes if you plan to travel uphill at Whitefish Mountain Resort.

Dogs are not permitted on chairlifts as they need to be properly trained to ride them. Dogs are not permitted in the gondolas because if they soil the gondola it is difficult to clean during operating hours making that gondola unavailable for other guests. Dogs are not allowed with Uphill Traffic.

Winter: Must be on a leash; cannot leave the parking lot.

Summer: Must be on a leash, not allowed in buildings. People with disabilities may bring qualified service animals onto the resort premises. Whitefish Mountain Resort holds the right to exclude the animals if there is a direct threat to the health and safety or our employees or guests. Besides the Ides & Manchester accommodations, animals are not allowed in any rented lodging properties other than service animals. WMR reserves the right to file complaints alleging the misrepresentation of service animals under section 3 of HB 439. Whitefish Mountain Resort has the right to ask you whether your animal is a service animal that is required because of the disability and what tasks the animal is trained to perform for you. The service animal must be housebroken and under the handlers control.

Emotional support animals are not considered service animals per the ADA and they are not allowed on the premises outside the parking lot.

Whitefish Mountain Resort is committed to making our facilities and programs as accessible as possible for all guests and their families, including those individuals with disabilities. If you have an accessibility issue that may need a unique accommodation involving our activities, programs, and/or facilities, please give us as much advanced notice as possible. Whitefish will work with you and your family through an interactive process to determine a reasonable accommodation. Depending on the extent of the accommodation requested or unique accessibility needs, we may need as much as two weeks advanced notice to assess the accommodation(s) needed.
