Press Center

Welcome to Whitefish Mountain Resort.

If you're a professional photo or video crew, or a journalist of any kind, please take a moment to read these tips and guidelines for covering our mountain.

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.

Media visits: We require advance notice for any news outlet seeking to shoot photos or videos at the resort, so please contact me before you plan to arrive. The sooner I know you're coming, the better I'll be able to assist you.

Film projects: Commercial and feature film projects must be approved by the resort. To shoot here, you’ll need to sign a site-use agreement and show proof of insurance. Contact me for details.

You may also need a permit from the U.S. Forest Service, as much of the resort is part of the Flathead National Forest. For that permit, please contact Julie Gerrior at jgerrior@usda.gov. It is your responsibility to ask the Forest Service whether you need a permit from the agency.

Lift tickets: We're happy to provide complimentary lift tickets to reporters and photographers who are directly responsible for completing a story assignment. If you need a complimentary ticket, please try to notify us at least 48 hours in advance so we can process your request. If you have your own season pass, please bring that instead.

Lodging: Depending on the scope of your assignment and what we have available, we may be able to provide complimentary or discounted lodging during your visit. Advance notice helps here, too.
