Overview Service & Activities

About This year we have a new trail head and access trail at 3315 Big Mountain Road, about 1/2 mile past Ptarmigan Village. The trail head has space for 30-40 cars, a vault toilet and trash cans. The 23k of trails are snowmobile groomed daily, as conditions allow. The upper trails (11 k) are groomed by Glacier Nordic Club and the lower trails are groomed by Iron Horse Golf Club (12k). A fee is not required to ski the trails! Iron Horse Golf Club donates their grooming. Glacier Nordic, a non-profit, supports their grooming through annual memberships and donations. Purchase your annual membership or make a donation at the Glacier Nordic Shop located at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course or purchase your annual membership online. Or drop some $ in the Glacier Nordic/Whitefish Trails donation box at the trail head. thank you. Big Mountain Nordic Trails have advanced and expert terrain and snow conditions. Expect steep and curvy descents and challenging climbs back to the trail head. There is some easier terrain at the start to get your ski legs under you.

Fat Bikes: are not allowed on Big Mountain on Whitefish Mountain Resort (WSI) property, but are allowed on the other trails.
