About this event

Whitefish Mountain

Whitefish, Montana

TSC Ski Trip March 2-9, 2024

Trip Leader:  Michael Hines, 972-896-9664, michael30313@msn.com


Whitefish Mountain Resort is a premier ski destination located in the Northern Rocky Mountains of Montana. It features a wide variety of terrain, including five terrain parks that cater to skiers and snowboarders of all abilities.  On some days the clouds at Whitefish Mountain Resort are low enough that skiers can literally ski above the clouds!  Whitefish currently has 14 operating lifts.  The Main lift out of the Village base area is one of three lifts open for night skiing.  The intermediate Hellfire trail is the longest on the mountain, running 3.3 miles from the summit to the base of Chair 8. 


Whitefish Resort offers 3,000 acres of glades, groomers, bowls, and steeps, covered in more than 300-inches of Rocky Mountain powder snow, which allows for a long ski season from mid-December to mid-April. A laid-back vibe, short lift lines, and one of the most affordable lift tickets in the nation put Whitefish in a class by itself.

 

The town of Whitefish is nestled at the edge of Glacier National Park. Each season offers breathtaking opportunities to experience the millions of acres of mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers that surround the town in every direction.

 

With its covered sidewalk main street leading to the cultural arts center, historic depot museum and public library, this quaint, picturesque western town of Whitefish offers visitors a change from the fast-paced, hustle and bustle of urban life. Central Avenue is filled with a variety of quality restaurants, shopping, and night life.

 

Join us for a full week of skiing and exploring all that Whitefish has to offer!

Equipment Rentals & Lessons

Ski Equipment Rental Discounts:

The Group Equipment Rentals attachment contains rental equipment information and associated group rates. They provide discounts on all rental equipment except on demo skis.

 

Rental equipment can be reserved by any group member using this link:  https://shop.skiwhitefish.com/s/groups

 

Group members can also take advantage of group rates when they arrive on-mountain if they don’t want to reserve in advance. For anyone renting equipment the day of, they can show their group lift ticket to the cashiers at the base lodge or village rental shops and an appropriate discount will be provided.

Ski Lessons:

There are several lesson packages that we offer at Whitefish Mountain Resort. The Group Ski School Rates attachment covers all the lesson options. We offer discounts on most lessons to our visiting groups during the winter and there will be multiple ways to reserve your spot.

 

For adult group lessons, these are some options:

  • First Time Lesson Package (not discounted) – includes lift tickets, lessons, and rental equipment for 2 days. This is meant for very beginners or those with no experience skiing or riding. Our instructors provide great tips and information to make sure folks are starting their skiing/riding experience on the right foot.
  • Adult Semi-Private Lesson (only discounted for the afternoon class) – 2-hour lesson, no equipment or tickets included. You are grouped with others of a similar ability level (no more than 4 per group). 

To reserve lessons, group members can register in advance using the following link-https://shop.skiwhitefish.com/s/groups   This link will ask for the type of lesson and the date you would like to participate. At any time during your stay, anyone in the group will also have the option to stop by the Ski & Ride School desk at the Base Lodge to sign up for lessons. Group members will need to present their group lift ticket for the cashier to honor the group rate.

 

For private lessons, you have the option of 3-hour or 6-hour lessons. Although private lessons are not discounted, it will be the same price for up to 5 participants in one of these lessons. We suggest that if you plan to take a lesson with multiple participants that all of you are the same ability level or in a similar range. The instructors must teach to the lowest ability level to make sure everyone can stick together. Having a beginner and an advanced skier may not be the best combination.

 

To reserve a private lesson, Tom suggest you call their Ski & Ride School desk to chat with someone there. They will provide a ton of helpful information and will gather everything they need to set you up with the best instructor for your needs. Their phone number is 406-862-2909 or 406-862-2907. When calling the Ski & Ride School desk, make sure your members mention that they are part of the group, and they will honor all group rates.

 

Ambassador Tours:

Ambassador tours are free and offered every day at 10:30am and 1:30pm. Their team wears bright yellow jackets, and they are hard to miss at the bottom of Chair 1 (main lift) or at the summit near the top of Chair 7 (under the large trail map). Here is a link for more information about the free mountain tourshttps://skiwhitefish.com/ambassadors/..

Cancellation Policy:
CANCELLATIONS
Cancellations made after deposit paid and prior to the first scheduled payment due date will result in a $50 administrative cancellation fee.

Any cancellation made after the first scheduled payment due date will result in the loss of all moneys paid UNLESS: 1) a wait list exists, and a “gender specific” replacement can accommodate the cancellation; 2) a wait list does not exist, and the canceling party can provide an appropriate “gender specific” replacement; or 3) the trip leader receives and signs up a “gender specific” participant to replace the canceled participant after having received his/her notice to cancel. If a replacement is obtained, an administrative cancellation fee of $100 AND the cost of an “airline ticket name change” (if one required) will be deducted from any refund to the canceled participant. When a wait list is in effect, substitutions of one’s own reservation is prohibited.

Note: The afore stated policy remains in effect when a cancellation is made as a result of a medical or family death situation which prohibits the attendance of the trip participant. Trip participants are encouraged to subscribe to a Trip Cancellation Insurance to ensure reimbursement for such situations. Reimbursement for such cancellation is between the Insurance Company and the insured and not the DSC. Work related cancellations are not generally accommodated by Trip Cancellation Insurance.
