Due to an inability to
book airfare, Pensacola Ski Club will not be hosting a 2011 trip to
Whitefish. However, this is a Florida
Ski Council (FSC) trip and other clubs throughout the state are still going
on these dates. FSC has reciprocal
agreements between the clubs, so you are welcome to make this trip with
another ski club. Click here
for clubs and information from the FSC website. Whitefish Mountain Resort on Big Mountain (formerly Big Mountain Resort) is located
in Northwest Montana 60 miles south of the Canadian Border and in the
backyard of Glacier National Park (which just celebrated it’s
100th anniversary in the Summer of 2010). Big Mountain is built like a cone with 360
degrees from the top of the mountain with 3,000 inbound ski-able acres
(making Whitefish Mountain Resort the 10th largest resort in the
U.S.), 97 marked runs, lots of tree glades and other off-piste areas to
explore, plus night skiing. If an area
might be foggy, have fun in the trees, ski with an ambassador (mountain
guide) or just move to another side of the mountain. Lift lines are very short or
non-existent. The highest elevation is
6,817 feet…no altitude issues! Twice
daily are free mountain guides to help you learn the mountain. There are groomed black diamond runs, as
well as designated beginner chair lifts and ski areas. A great value ski school + equipment+ lift
ticket package (2 days for $69) makes this a great destination for
never-evers. |
