Cuban Carving Gooding Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 IT looks like Whitfish Mountain Resort is est 2007. Just take away 60 years. You loose all the history that Big Mountain has earned. You can spend money it does not mean they will come. Time will tell. The powers that be are scaring me.

carvedog Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 That's an incredibly bad logo. It reminds me of a duck billed platypus in a way if not actually. You know the whole design by committee idea. While the mountain identifies with the community of Whitefish, to have your mountain image associated with a (trash) fish???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? F**king corporations anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F**king corporations anyway. EASY NOW this is an innocent fish we are talking about here! They aren't a trash fish either!!! We actually fish them commercially in Flathead lake. I am not a real fish lover and I actually like to eat them especially smoked:1luvu: Doesn't mean I want one on my mountain logo tho:freak3: I don't think it will ever be anything but Big Mountain to any of us it'll just change the image for the newbs.

Whitefish are considered the T word in our local rivers, I think they may not be native and that could be why. Mostly I just think it is dumb to have a fish on ski mtn logo. Believe my I love the Big and Whitefish town (had some raging nights there) and many good friends around there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 :lol: I don't know that much about them really. they live in the big lake here and some of the smaller ones. I guess they'd be a pain if you were trying to catch a cutthroat! When they are really in season you can't keep them out of the boat. people catch them by the hundreds here. I actually prefer whitefish's original name as well STUMPTOWN:biggthump there is still lots of stumptown remnants around stumptown snowboards being one of them.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 DR,D any news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Waiting on a reply via email from the mtn. I did find out that 20 - 25 is the numbers necessary to get the ball rolling on further deals. I have been busy so I haven't pursued it to aggressively. Lots of emails and local support so it looks like numbers won't be an issue. I will get a tally of names and numbers confirmed so far and get it posted.

Dr D Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 We currently have 24 people on the list as coming for sure. There are about 5 extras possible in the various parties. IF you are bringing people with you that aren't accounted for in the thread let me know. I also count around 6 locals for sure with 4-5 that I haven't located yet. I think we can hit 50 if we want to. There are a lot of oregon and washington and BC people that might be able to make a long weekend on the train. I may try to refine some of the festivities toward the weekend to include those arriving late. Chicago will also have a direct flight available. you can get into missoula from vegas very cheap so if you are close to vegas flights to missoula are 65 -85 $ each way. 100 mile drive to get here from there. allegiant is threatening to put in a flight direct to kalispell as well so maybe that will be in place by next season. I am working on possible midweek trip to Blacktail mtn for a large group I may be able to get them to open just for us with enough notice. they are open thursday thru sunday normally. They have an untapped mecca of groom. ITs a 40 minute trip from the big and if it flies I will arrange transportation. A couple of vans or something.

I figured you had a couple but didn't know for sure. I will try to have a set agenda and a single point of contact for all the tickets and rooms etc with the option to get your own rooms seperately.
