Today's Snow Reporter: Chad

Friday, Nov. 1, 2024:

Woohoo! It's beginning to feel a lot like winter on Big Mountain with a solid 3 inches of snowfall over the last couple of days. And there's more in the forecast!

It seems like the snow always starts sticking at the summit right around Halloween. Coincidence? Witchcraft? Who cares: Opening day is just over a month away!

We're scheduled to kick off the 2024/25 ski season on Thursday, Dec. 5, and there's no time like the present to start preparing. We're looking forward to an extra snowy La Niña winter, and you don't want to miss out!

If you plan to spend multiple days on the slopes this winter but didn't get a season pass, a frequent skier card offers the next best value! Get your card for just $65 upfront, then ski or ride whenever you choose at a discounted daily rate. It's a big savings compared to regular lift tickets, and you'll never have to wait in the ticket line on a powder day. But don't wait! Frequent skier cards are available online only through Tuesday, Dec. 24.

And if you're visiting from afar, check out our selection of vacation rentals right here on the mountain! Staying in one of our slopeside lodging units is the most fun and convenient way to ski the Fish, with easy access to downtown Whitefish aboard the free S.N.O.W. Bus.

Lessons, lift tickets, rental gear and Kids Center offerings are now available too, so start planning the ski trip of your dreams!

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.
