Expect firm conditions this morning. TRAIL CLOSURES Badger, Pika & Roller Coaster.
If you climb high into the upper elevation band today, feel for a hard crust beneath the new snow. If you don't feel a crust or can easily break through it, dial back your slope angles to less than 35 degrees. Get more information at flatheadavalanche.org.
12/9 Big Mtn Trailhead 6:00am 19F 4” of new snow. Groomer, Ed, is headed out to roll upper course. We’ll update trail conditions after rolling.
Happy Opening Day! Here's today's snow report with all the info you need to know before you go: skiwhitefish.com/snowreport/
Despite Mother nature's best effort to knock us down, we're right back up and ready to open with limited backside terrain on Chairs 7, 11 and TB2. Chair 1 will run from 9:30a-2p for uploading. All riders will have to download at the end of their day. Plan accordingly!
Our FREE Avalanche Awareness series continues this month with three stops: Koocanusa Brewery on 12/6, Andy's crafthouse on 12/12, and Penco Power Products on 12/20 All events begin at 6 pm and are open to recreationists of any experience level!
Here we go! The avalanche danger may rise to HIGH by Tuesday morning as a warm and wet storm sweeps across the forecast region. If the storm develops as forecasted, rain on snow will increase the likelihood and size of triggered and natural avalanches.
A HUGE shoutout to everyone @SkiWhitefish who is working hard right now to get operations up and running for the season. WMR helps our mission in so many ways, with classroom space, a weather station, and financial support as Diamond Sponsors.
12/4 6:15am 28F Big Mtn No new over night snow. However, 2-3” since 12/2! Headed out with Ginzu to pack course. Track our progress on Nordic Pulse. Grooming schedule will be intermittent this week as we train the 23-24 team & ride out the coming weather system. ❄️Sno-farmer

@GlacierNordic Ya’ll made a lot of people happy this winter. Thanks for preserving through equipment breakdowns, early morning runs, and temps in the teens. It’s magical up there!
@GlacierNordic It has been fabulous skiing this year - thank you so much!
@GlacierNordic Thanks for everything you do! Looking forward to next season!
3/21 Big Mtn trails: Upper trails and Haskill Hwy groomed with the snowcat. The snowcat is repaired and I was able to lay down some nice corduroy, anomalies emilnated. We're maintaining coverage all the way down to the Haskill trailhead. Don't forget your sunglasses today!
2/18 Meadow Lake 31F and snowing right now! All trails groomed for skate. Classic track only 40% intact. Trails are in okay condition. Ski with caution as this new snow hasn’t bonded with the firm layer below, and it’s covering up some bare/icy spots.
Grooming Report for Glacier Nordic Center at the WFGC 2/17/23 @ 10:30 pm Both North and South Courses groomed tonight for tomorrow morning Temp: 32d - Lightly snowing Watch for thin spots and irregularities
@GlacierNordic Ya’ll are keeping those trails so so fine. Thanks for getting after it every day.
1/26 WFGC: 27F at 8:45. All trails are groomed for skate. The snow is actually holding up really nicely. Trails are in good condition but watch out for icy spots. Most of the classic track is gone or really battered. Remember, skiing cures the winter blues. Enjoy!
1/22 Big Mountain trails: about .5” new snow overnight. Lookout, Badger, Moosehoof, Rollercoaster and lower Haskill are snowcat groomed with fresh classic track. The Cedar loop area was not groomed today but Kirby the cat was out there Friday afternoon. Enjoy!
1/20 Big Mountain Snowcat update: the snowcat is being serviced today and will be on the trails intermittently. In most spots the trails aren’t wide enough for skiers and the snowcat so if you hear it coming, please get as far off the trail as you can safely manage. Thanks!
