Resort celebrates new lift on opening day
Fog and freezing temperatures did little to sway opening-day crowds at Whitefish Mountain Resort, which saw more than 1,550 visitors at the start of its 70th season Thursday. Skiers and snowboarders coursed down 29 of the resort’s 105 marked trails in temperatures in the teens and 20s on a moderate 31-inch base.
