10:15 a.m. update:

It’s a beautiful morning on the Big! The sun is shining, and the view couldn’t be better. It’s definitely a little chilly out there today so be sure to bring extra layers.

Frontside groomers are a little firmer today, but still taking an edge very well. Backside corduroy is silky smooth and a little more forgiving than the frontside.

It’s a great day for some bluebird skiing! 

6 a.m. report:

Good morning, snow sports fans!

We had no new snowfall overnight, giving us a settled base depth of 63 inches at the summit. The current temperature on the mountain is 8 degrees. We expect the summit to get up to 13 today, while the base area will reach 17 degrees. We will have light to moderate winds out of the north-northwest this morning, but they will likely shift to west winds at some point this afternoon. Wind chill values will be below zero today, so please remember to cover up and dress appropriately.

The mountain should continue to ski well today. Our grooming team has done an excellent job keeping the corduroy silky smooth across the mountain. The snow quality is very consistent right now, with slightly firmer snow to be found on the frontside. But all sides of the mountain continue to ski well.

Ed & Mully’s will be open for breakfast from 8:15-10:30 a.m. today and tomorrow. It's a great place to grab some grub and fuel up for your day out on the mountain!

We also have some events on the horizon. Today we will be hosting the Biggie Banks Banked Slalom, and on Sunday we'll have the second Tommy Moe Kids Race as well as the Whitefish Winter Carnival Scavenger Hunt. Clues for the scavenger hunt will be released Sunday morning, and finding all eight hidden locations enters you into a raffle to win some great prizes! For more information, registration and volunteer sign-ups, head on over to our events page.

Finally, don't forget that night skiing is happening again tonight! Chairs 2, 3 and 6 will be spinning until 8:30 p.m., so come on up and catch some evening laps! We’d also like to remind you that it is your responsibility to ski in control, especially during night skiing. Skiing recklessly and with excessive speed can result in the confiscation of your pass. 

We have more sunshine in the forecast for today, so be sure to come out and enjoy some bluebird turns on the Big!

We hope to see you this weekend.

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.

If you go out of bounds ...

When you exit the marked boundaries of the resort, you are entering backcountry terrain where natural and human-caused avalanches can occur. The resort does not conduct avalanche mitigation on those slopes. Always check the Flathead Avalanche Center's daily avalanche forecast and carry a beacon, shovel and probe.

Stay safe out there!

Did you know tree wells can be deadly? How do you ski or ride safely in early-season conditions? Have you read the Skier Responsibility Code?

Please review our safety guides to help keep you, your buddies and your fellow guests safe on the slopes.
