Whitefish Mountain Resort is one of the largest ski resorts in North America with over 3,000 acres of skiable terrain. Seven of the nine chairlifts service the front side of Whitefish Mountain. The back side offers more tree skiing terrain and is serviced by Chair 7, a hgh-speed quad. The backside also offers more terrain when T-Bar 2 is running on the weekends and holidays. The far side of the mountian is where you'll find Hell Roaring Basin. Hell Roaring Basin is characterized by tight tree skiing, vertical chutes and cliffs. You go there, you want to be expert.
