OT: Whitefish, Montana skiing in Dec

[Dawgbyte]

I know there have been several threads here about Whitefish. Family thinking about going end of December. I have read where the snow in December is unpredictable, and not all runs are open. I wouldn’t want to make the trip then not have adequate snow. Anyone been to Whitefish in December or have thoughts on how risky it might be to go end of December? Really wanted to go to Whitefish but wondering if we need to switch to CO.

Whitefish Mountain averages 5 feet of snow in December with snow falling over half the days of the month of December. End of December, you should be good.

Last year wasn’t good in December but I agree you will likely be fine for a trip at the end of December

Skiing is probably going to be incredible the week after Christmas this year in the Northern Rockies. The crowds will be bad though. We don't ski that week because of lift lines, but compared to Colorado Whitefish will look like Wally World when the Griswold family got there.

Our family has been to Whitefish a couple of times in December and had a great time. Not all the runs were open but plenty were. I think as long as you are going in late December you should be fine.

Last year we went to Steamboat in early/mid December and it turned out okay as a bunch of new runs opened on our second day.

Who needs to spend all that time and money in Montana?

Went a couple times over Christmas break in college. The skiing was always great
