Cross-Country Skiing

The Big Mountain Ski and Summer Resort offers 12km of very challenging cross-country trails. The Glacier Nordic Club maintains 15km (7 1/2 miles) of trails on the Whitefish Lake Golf Course and another 1.6km (1 mile) across the street near the Grouse Mountain Lodge.

These provide an excellent outing on the hilly golf course. A small donation allows skiers to enjoy both sides of the street, and yearly passes are available. For information, contact the Grouse Mountain Lodge (tel. 406/862-3000). The Flathead Convention and Visitor Bureau (tel. 877/862-3548) provides a free outline of trails in or near Whitefish, as well as a list of equipment sales and rental operations.
