Press Center

Welcome to Whitefish Mountain Resort.

If you're a professional photographer or videographer, or a journalist of any kind, please take a moment to read these guidelines and requirements.

Email is the best way to reach me. I'm happy to answer questions, set up interviews, pitch ideas or show you around the mountain — whatever you need to tell the story.

Lift tickets: We're happy to provide complimentary or discounted lift tickets to writers and photographers who are directly responsible for completing a story involving the resort. If you need a complimentary or discounted ticket, please give us as much advance notice as possible. If you have your own season pass, please bring that instead.

Travel writers, ski bloggers and news media: Please get in touch if you want to shoot photos or videos on the mountain. Fast-moving sports like skiing and mountain biking become especially dangerous when a photographer is shooting from a bad position, so we have some guidelines and ground rules. The sooner I know you're coming, the better I'll be able to assist you.

Commercial photography: Whitefish Mountain Resort is a private business operating within the Flathead National Forest. Accordingly, all commercial photographers and videographers must have written permission from the resort and the U.S. Forest Service to shoot on the mountain.

This applies to any photographer or videographer intending to sell their work or getting paid by a client, no matter how big or small. Engagement and elopement photography, brand commercials, music videos, feature film projects and business social media assets are all included here.

You will need:

• A signed agreement with the resort
• A certificate of insurance covering you or your business that names Winter Sports Inc. as additionally insured
• A letter of approval for commercial activity from the Flathead National Forest

We also may charge a production fee based on the scope and nature of your project and the degree of assistance required of resort staff. Please get in touch to discuss all the details.

Social media influencers: Sorry, Whitefish Mountain Resort does not participate in influencer marketing. With extremely rare exceptions, we will not provide meals, lift tickets, lodging or other services in exchange for TikTok or Instagram content.
