Traveller notes on Whitefish in November
Other months in Whitefish
February is the deep of the season at Whitefish — around −2°C by day, −10°C at night, and the record's heaviest snowfall month at 64cm, which turns the forum's "sometimes the most snow of the season comes in February" into the actual average. The caveat regulars raise is visibility rather than cover: the mountain is fogged in roughly half the time in January and February. Two dates to plan around — the Winter Carnival on the first weekend of February, which people travel in for, and Presidents Day week, which they avoid for crowds. Driving from Spokane means winter roads; flying into Glacier Park International is the easier route.
