9:30 a.m. update:

It's a soupy day on the Big. Low visibility is covering the mountain right now. Some areas have several chair lengths of visibility, while other are two chair lengths or less. On the bright side, we had an inch or so of heavy snowfall on the top half of the mountain this morning, which really helped soften things up!

There is still a harder layer underneath, but it's skiing better than anticipated. Due to the freeze-thaw cycles we've had, there are grooming irregularities mountainwide. This is making for some tricky turns when combined with the low visibility, so please ski and ride with caution today. There are a few areas on the mountain with standing water, so please watch for marked closures and obstacles today.

Please note the Hellroaring Basin, Haskill Slide and East Rim terrain remain closed due to avalanche potential, though Chair 5 is turning today to get folks around the mountain.

6 a.m. report:

Good morning, snow sports fans!

We have 10 more days left to ski and ride here at Whitefish Mountain Resort. We had no new snowfall last night, which leaves our base depth right around 92 inches. It’s currently 31 degrees on the mountain. The summit is projected to reach 37 today, and the base area will be 41 degrees. We’ll have a moderate breeze today, with intermittent snow coming down before noon.

It did drop below freezing last night, so we can expect conditions to be very firm on the mountain to start the day. Groomers will likely be fast and a little less forgiving early in the morning but will soften up as we get into the afternoon. Off-trail terrain will be variable and quite challenging, so please be cautious as you navigate the mountain this morning. There may be some bare spots starting to poke out around the mountain, so please be mindful of that as well. It has started snowing at the summit, so don’t forget to do some late-season snow dances to keep it going.

Now for some announcements!

If you're on the hunt for a new pair of skis, stop by Village Rentals before the season ends! Demo skis are on sale now for just $350. You can save up to 50% on new skis, boots, and bindings as well. Stop in and take advantage of these deals before they're all gone!

We have a couple of great events coming up this weekend. Lady Power Park Hour and Spring Brewfest will both take place Saturday, March 29.

The Brewfest is a fundraiser for the S.N.O.W. Bus, our excellent local transit that provides free shuttle services to and from Whitefish Mountain Resort. Buy your tickets online ahead of time and come on out to sample dozens of craft beers from across the region!

Ed & Mully's will be open through Sunday, March 30, before closing for the last week of the season. Stop in and try something tasty from their breakfast menu, available until 10:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday!

If snow conditions permit, Monday, March 31, will be your last opportunity to ski and ride the Hellroaring Basin this season! We are required to close the basin starting April 1 each year to protect grizzly bears emerging from their dens. Please note spring avalanche potential could force us to close the basin sooner.

And finally, if you're breaking out your splitboard or touring skis this spring, please take a moment to review our uphill policy and note the time restrictions on our two uphill routes. If you head up the mountain after 4 p.m. you must take the East Route! And remember, uphill rules will change when we enter our 14-day post-season period on Monday, April 7.

We crafted the uphill policy with the U.S. Forest Service and it's important for everyone's safety on the mountain. We appreciate your cooperation!

Enjoy yourselves out there!

As always,

Happy shredding.

The snow report is a subjective assessment of terrain and weather conditions. Snowfall and snow depths are measured at the summit and base areas around 6 a.m. each day. Actual depths may vary across the mountain and change throughout the day. Always check with ski patrol if you need more information about skiing conditions.
