Whitefish Mountain Resort saw a snowy end to its ski season, with the delivery of another winter storm just days before the closing weekend shenanigans.
“Early-season snowpack enabled us to open lots of terrain when we fired up the chairlifts in early December,” said Chad Sokol, public relations manager for the resort. “And now during our closing week, we're still watching flakes fall from the summit all the way down to the base area.”
The 2024-25 season, which ends today, is the fifth in a row that the mountain has tallied more than 400,000 skier visits. While total numbers will not be available until the weekend concludes, the season is slated to “rank among our busiest winters to date,” Sokol said.
