Blacktail Mountain Ski Area is shaping up for a fantastic February 16th with fresh snow in the forecast! Overnight temperatures settled at a crisp 18°F, preserving a solid 34-inch snowpack—just shy of the historical average. With 2-3 inches of fresh powder expected today and nearly 6 inches anticipated over the next 72 hours, conditions are improving for a great holiday weekend. The recent snowfall should bring a soft, playful surface, ideal for carving up the slopes. Groomers will be in top shape, while off-piste riders can look forward to some fresh turns in the trees.

Exciting changes are also unfolding at Blacktail this season, as new ownership brings fresh energy and improvements to the mountain. Following a late start to the season, recent storms have helped bolster the base, and more snow on the way should continue to enhance conditions. While the ski area is set to close on Monday, February 17th, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the improving terrain. Get ready for a scenic day of skiing above Flathead Lake with excellent snow on the horizon!
