Stoke is high heading into ski resort’s 77th season

Thanks to an onslaught of Pacific storms, the upper reaches of Big Mountain are already buried in nearly 4 feet of snow.

It’s been a decade since the slopes at Whitefish Mountain Resort were in this good of shape heading into opening day. 

“The last time we clocked that much snow in the preseason was ahead of the 2013-14 season,” resort spokesperson Chad Sokol said. “We’re due for a good snow year.”
