We have had some gnarly weather the past few days but the rain has been awesome for the trails, making them grippy and fast. Runaway Train has some wet slick spots, but that makes it even cooler. The lower mountain trails like Gopher and Borealis are in prime condition. We've recently opened Wolverine, and it looks great. The weekend looks promising weather wise, so grab your bike and come on up and challenge yourself on one of our many trails.

The Danny On hiking trail is free of snow all the way to flower point. Summer is just getting started. So come on up to the mountain and try something new or just have a amazing day of activities with us at Whitefish Mountain Resort.

Look forward to seeing you all up on Whitefish Mountain Resort.
