Shred the deep pow stashes of Whitefish, Montana this winter!
Are you time-poor and just want quality skiing and riding without having to learn a new trail map? Powered by our partners at Mint Tours, this Whitefish Express Tour will give you the ultimate advantage as you are led by a host who knows the local area and terrain. Our ‘Express Tours’ are designed to provide an exceptional guided winter adventure, condensed into a short and sweet, all-inclusive tour.
Whitefish is a powder snow factory with an average of over 8 meters (over 26 feet) falling every winter. Even if it hasn’t snowed in a while, cold temperatures and wind transport keep this mountain fresh. Whitefish is known for plenty of things, and fog is one of them, but even low visibility just means the sun isn’t baking the snow. Pow laps in the trees anyone?
We stay slopeside at the authentic Kandahar Lodge which gives us access to Whitefish Mountain Resort by simply walking out the door. As there’s usually no lift line, we’re lapping all day with our local hosts and guides.

Area Information
Montana
Most people know that winter in Montana is cold, often very cold. A lot of people don’t know how all of that cold makes for lots of very light powder snow that falls on the northern Rocky Mountains. Skiing and snowboarding in Montana offers great snow and lots of challenging terrain.
