Big Mountain/Whitefish suggestions?

I'm heading out to Big Mountain next week and staying in Whitefish. Any
suggestions for places to eat, cafes, bars, etc? What about tips on the
mountain itself?

Hellroaring basin.

They have gotten a fair bit of new n the last few days and they *might
get some mor ein the next few depending. If they do (or maybe if they
don't) .... hellroaring.

That said, you might like the blue runs too.....

I've taken Amtrak to Whitefish several times from Everett, Washington. I
prefer to stay in town, use the free bus to get to the mountain, and walk to
restaurants in the evening. Last December we stayed at the Pine Lodge,
which is a very nice motel within walking distance (15 minutes) of downtown
restaurants. Rocky Mountain Lodge is also fine but is a bit farther from
town. The best restaurants last trip were the Wasabi Grill and Oyster Bar
(separate operations in the same building).

I've also stayed at Ptarmigan Village, which are condos on the mountain a
few miles from the ski area. Transportation was a bit of a hassle without a
car.

I stay at the Alpineglow which sits right next to the lift. There isn't a
whole lot happening in town.

Kjell Petersen is a great ski instructor at Big Mountain and has been there
for years. He can tell you everything you need to know about Big Mountain
and Whitefish. His e-mail address is either or
tell him JQ referred you.

Hope you have a great time there as I always do. If it is a clear day the
site of Glacier National Park from the mountain top is a most beautiful
view, it is a must see! My first time there my friend told me to look out
the window of the mountain top restaurant and I thought I was looking at
panoramic picture and not the real thing. I had to go out side the build to
look for myself.

Don't do the cat skiing. It's too flat and too many trees for the pitch and
others can hike in and eat your turf.
