2) Glacier National Park in distance from top of Whitefish Mountain.
3) Bowl skiing, Whitefish.
4) Looks like a ski town. Ski area 3-5 miles from downtown.
Started out with sunshine and groomer on my carving skis. Made a full tour of all 4 sides of the mountain, about 2350' vertical drop.
Changed back to the old standby Salomon Extremes at lunch time for steeps and moguls in the afternoon. Made the right choice as I met up young local magazine publisher who has been skiing Whitefish for the past 8 years. We were off and running catching his favorite blacks and double blacks for the remainder of the afternoon. Ended the day with 40,660' vertical. That happened fast!
Drove on to Missoula for dinner with Brett's buddy, Pat Colleran. See Pat & Brett relaxing in The Powder Wagon at Revelstoke (blog Jan 5). Great to hear of his Mt. Baker skiing after he and Nick left Brett & I on Jan 7th.
