Whitefish Mountain Resort, in northwest Montana, is noted for its laid-back vibe, world-class skiing, and unbeatable value. The resort sees an average of 300 inches of snow on its 3,000 acres, and is as well known for a pleasant lack of lift lines as for its consistently good snow conditions. When the snow melts, Whitefish Mountain Resort becomes home to thrilling Zip Line Tours and an Aerial Adventure Park along with world-class downhill and cross-country mountain biking. Located next to the Base Lodge patio are fun activities for younger kids like Spider Monkey Mountain, the Strider Bike Park, and Summer Tubing. New for 2019, the Alpine Slide has a new and improved route and a second slide is being constructed! You can't beat the views from the Scenic Lift Ride to the Summit House Montana's only mountaintop restaurant.

Beautiful well-kept course. I started the South course at 6 PM and was able to play 18 holes in less than 3 hours. Pristine fairways and greens, great views and beautiful sunset finish. Cant wait to come back. Reasonably priced and solid pro shop.

This is one of my favorite all seasons playgrounds. On this particular visit it was the setting of a winter adventure. It was a perfect day to be out on the snow cat on trails in the back country. Surrounded by tall pines and towering cliff it is Montana at its finest. We finished the rides with a trip to Tally Lake, an amazing gem in the western part of the forest. Tally Lake has the distinction of being the deepest lake in Montana registering at about 500 feet. Of the many other activities available throughout the year~ hiking, boating camping and swimming are just to name a few.

We enjoyed a wonderful picnic lunch under a shade tree, We watched many people swimming, paddle boarding, jet skis, boats and generally enjoying the beautiful outdoors. The snack shack drew us in with the smell of waffle cones! We sampled a local favorite- huckleberry ice cream. The restrooms were clean and sanitizer was available. The beach area was clean and most people gave each group their own space. It was a fantastic afternoon and I definitely would return!

My wife and I stayed at the Pine Lodge and we got a free kayak rental. The back of the hotel was right next to the river so we did a tandem kayak trip up the river to get to Whitefish Lake. It was a fairly easy trip and it took us about 40-min to reach the lake. The trip was very quiet and scenic and we even saw a deer on the way! You pass by a few bridges and it's a fun trip.
