Mountaintop views of Glacier National Park will greet guests once again as Whitefish Mountain Resort opens Saturday, May 25 for weekends and holidays, weather permitting with summer activities such as Zip Line Tours, the Aerial Adventure Park, Summer Tubing, Spider Monkey Mountain, Scenic Lift Rides, and mountain biking in the Bad Rock Zone and cross-country trails. Additional activities will be offered as the snow melts. The Summit House Restaurant and Bar will be open as well as the Base Lodge Café, Bar and Coffee Bar. Daily operations for summer 2019 are June 15 through September 2, followed by Friday-Sunday through September 22. The resort’s long list of activities, restaurants and lodging make the perfect basecamp for visitors seeking a memorable and affordable vacation in northwest Montana.
 
The resort wishes to show its appreciation for its 2018/19 Winter Season Passholders by offering 50 percent off all summer activities available and 20 percent off food at the Base Lodge and Summit House for the weekends of May 25-27, June 1-2 and June 8-9, 2019. Passholders must bring their 2018/19 Winter Season Pass to receive discounts for activities, food and beverages. Reservations are required for Zip Line Tours at 406-862-2900.
 
“We are excited to welcome summer and provide our guests with mountain experiences for all ages and interests.  Our family-friendly amenities offer many ways for all ages to play on the mountain.  Coupled with affordable lodging and exceptional service they bring our guests back year after year,” said Whitefish Mountain Resort CEO Dan Graves.  “Part of last winter’s success was certainly due to the loyalty of our passholders who helped set a new record for vertical feet skied as well as helping us set a new skier visit record. We want to welcome our passholders back to the mountain for some summer fun by offering half off summer activities for the first three weekends.” 
 
New for summer 2019, Whitefish Mountain Resort will add a second Alpine Slide and redesign the original slide. Work is currently underway for the $675,000 project to engineer, design and build two new slide paths as well as purchase additional sleds. The new alpine slides, to be named Meadow and Forest for the type of terrain the slides meander through, will provide two distinct experiences to summer guests. Both will begin in the Lift Plaza and finish adjacent to the Base Lodge. Chair 6 will be used to transport guests and sleds from the bottom of both slides to the top of the hill where both slides will begin. There is no extra charge for riding the lift. One slide is projected to open June 15 with the second slide’s target opening date set for July 1.
 
In May and June, guests who visit the resort can take advantage of early season pricing on Zip Line Tours and the Aerial Adventure Park. From May 25 through June 28 the 4-Zip Tour is only $51 and the 6-Zip Tour is $59 per person, and the Aerial Adventure Park is $42 for ages 13 and up and $32 for kids ages 7-12.
