That's a wrap!
Closing weekend was one for the books, and the 2025/26 ski season is officially over at Whitefish Mountain Resort. We made it through our scheduled closing day with plenty of open terrain, another successful and entertaining Pond Skim, glorious sunshine and lots of smiling faces. By the closing bell, we'd tallied 207 inches of snowfall this season at the summit of Big Mountain — not too shabby considering how warm it's been across the West these past few months.
We want to thank all our guests who skied and snowboarded here this season. Whether you took your first lesson, competed in an event, carved up the groomers, sent it in the terrain parks, flew solo or brought a whole crew, you helped us make the most of this season and we sincerely appreciate it!
Thanks also to our dedicated snow reporters Helena and Margot for keeping us up to date on conditions, and to all our employees who kept this place humming along throughout the season. Cooks, bussers, boot fitters, housekeepers, lifties, lift mechanics, snowcat drivers, custodians, instructors, patrollers, ticket sellers, rental technicians, snow makers and snow removers … The list goes on and we appreciate your hard work.
We can't wait to do it all again next winter!
In the meantime …
Now that our operating season is over, please note we've entered the 14-day post-season period described in our uphill policy. That means if you come up here with your splitboard or touring skis, you must stick to the East Route from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. It's the only approved route for uphill and downhill traffic while our crews conduct end-of-season operations.
To be clear: Under no circumstances should you ski, ride, hike or snowshoe outside the East Route during those hours. Please take a moment to review the uphill policy and route maps. It's for everyone's safety on the mountain and we appreciate your cooperation!
Looking ahead …
It's time to start planning your summer visits to Whitefish Mountain Resort! When the snow melts and we welcome in the warmer months, the mountain is transformed into an outdoor playground for all ages, with tons of summer activities ranging from leisurely to action-packed.
You can enjoy a peaceful Scenic Lift Ride with views of Glacier National Park, soar above treetops on Montana's longest lift-served Zip Line Tour, test your agility in the Aerial Adventure Park, cruise down the Alpine Slides, hike and pick huckleberries along the Danny On Memorial Trail, watch your kiddos conquer Spider Monkey Mountain, or rent a mountain bike and explore more than 20 miles of lift-served downhill trails in the Whitefish Bike Park!
Bike park season passes are available to purchase now, and summer lodging is available right here on the mountain! Just 15 minutes from downtown Whitefish, 30 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport and 45 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort is the perfect base camp for anyone visiting Northwest Montana.
We'll kick off our summer operating season Saturday, May 23, with daily operations commencing Saturday, June 13. Please see our Hours & Dates page for details.
We hope to see you soon!
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.

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?
