Fresh tracks await at Whitefish Mountain Resort as skiers and snowboarders carve into a 65-inch snowpack on January 15, 2025. While the current snow depth is 25 inches below the seasonal average, conditions remain excellent with groomed trails offering smooth runs and natural snow providing a soft base for off-piste adventures. The resort is expecting a light dusting of snow over the next 24 hours with 0.05 inches forecasted, and a total of 0.13 inches projected over the next three days. While it’s not a powder day, the cold temperatures have preserved the existing snowpack, keeping it crisp and responsive underfoot.
Excitement continues to build as Whitefish celebrates its 76th winter season, following recent infrastructure improvements and expanded terrain. Visitors are reminded to adhere to safety guidelines, particularly in uphill travel zones near active chairlift construction. With a nod to its storied past, the resort looks ahead to the challenges of a changing climate, but for now, the slopes are primed for memorable turns. Whether you're chasing groomers or exploring tree runs, Whitefish remains a quintessential destination for winter enthusiasts eager to embrace mountain magic.
