They don't call it Big Mountain for nothing, you know. We've got over 3,000 acres of terrain, and most of it is accessible with a single 7-1/2 minute lift ride. Lift lines? What are those? Snow ghosts? Yep... we've got'um. Friendliest people on the planet? Quite possibly!

Great Mountain, Don't ever be put off by the fog or clouds as the visibility changes rapidly during the day? Today, 02nd April 2011, skiing was anything but spring skiing, it was as good as any day anywhere else...

explore - follow the locals on a hike up to hellroaring peak or flower point. the turns will be worth the burn.

Great skiing! Great fun! The backside always has reliable snow. Don't miss Hellfire on a day with fresh powder. My college age/high school children love to explore the tree runs off the tee bar. Do check out the restaurants in Whitefish. They are wonderful! We've been coming here for ten years. Lots to do in the summer too!

I didn't care for the spring skiing there totally because of the fog and clouds. It may have been different in colder weather. It was 47 or 50 degrees in town causing lots of fog up on the mountain

Steep and Deep. On powder days, come early, catch a run or two on lift 2 before lift 1 opens...a line will form at lift 1 about 20 min before opening...there's so much terrain, it's not worth waiting in line...plenty of "freshies", if not "firsties" all day!!

Fantastic mountain with great variety in terrain. Snow was excellent days after any snowfall. Everyone working on the mountain was impressively friendly, we can't wait to return.

We really like this mountain... great terrain, great snow! Staff was vey friendly and accomodating. But it was cold. So cold I had to scrap the wax off my ski to move through the flat spots on the cat tracks on the mountain. Could still find fresh tracks days after a storm. Lots to do in the evening if you want to brave the cold again - Great Northern had live music, Blue Moon inColumbia Falls had a fun kareokee (sp?) night.

Ski the backside when it's foggy, which it is frequently. You can usually see about 1/4 of the way down and the backside has wonderful snow usually.
Check out the tours of the mountain also. While you're at it, have a beer at the Great Northern Brewery. My fave is either Fred's or Snowghost but all of them are really good.

You can ski all 4 sides of this mountain!! Even on a bad day, the top and back (north)side will have good snow. We love this place!! From Seattle we've taken the train overnight(13 hrs) and have flown (1 hour & 15 min). Cost can be about the same just depends on how much time you have. The train doesn't charge for luggage!
