Whitefish Mountain Resort kicked off the 2025/2026 ski season with a fresh blanket of powder - and reporter Jack Underhill was on the mountain to capture opening day! From early-morning mimosa tailgates to overnight campouts under Chair 1, skiers and snowboarders showed up to catch the year’s first turns. Resort officials also share updates on snowpack, safety reminders, and what skiers can expect in the coming days as more storms are predicted to roll in.
