Ski-In/Out Village Condo · Hot Tub & Fireplace

Step off the lift at Whitefish Mountain Resort, walk under 200 feet, and you're home: this is true ski-in/ski-out living in the heart of The Village. Chasing Powder is a brand-new, designer-renovated condo where a real wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, a shared hot tub and sauna wait just downstairs, and a king bed dressed in impossibly soft linens is exactly what your legs need after a day on Chair 1 and Chair 2.



THE SPACE



Chasing Powder sits on the second floor of the Edelweiss building, genuinely one of the closest condos on the whole mountain to both Chair 1 and Chair 2 — you'll be clipping into your boots before your coffee's even cold. A local designer reimagined every inch with a custom ski-lodge theme: a repurposed red chairlift bench doubles as dining seating, a hand-painted mountain mural wraps the kitchen wall, and a snowy pine forest mural frames the king bed. This isn't the condo you've stayed in a hundred times before.



The open-concept living area centers on that wood-burning fireplace, the kind you want to sit in front of after carving groomers all day. A gray sectional dressed in a faux-fur throw faces a mounted 55-inch HDTV with Roku, and a sliding door opens onto a private balcony with mountain views over the trees and road below. The kitchen is fully loaded for a group that actually wants to cook: Samsung stainless appliances, a dishwasher, a gas range, a waterfall-edge island seating four, and a dedicated coffee bar stocked with a drip maker, French press, and Keurig — plus grounds, pods, creamer, and sugar — so your first morning doesn't require a grocery run.



The single bedroom is a retreat: a plush king bed beneath copper pinecone pendant lights, room-darkening shades, and a wall-mounted TV. A sofa bed in the living room sleeps two more, for four guests total. The spa-style bathroom has a walk-in shower behind a sliding glass door, a backlit mirror, a double vanity, and fully stocked toiletries. In-room ski and snowboard racks keep gear off the floor, and the furnishings are genuinely brand new, down to the linens, cookware, and coffee station.



LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY



You're inside The Village at Whitefish Mountain Resort, which means apres-ski dining, drinks, and shopping are right out the back door — no shuttle, no driving, no finding parking after a day on the snow. The town of Whitefish itself is a short drive down the mountain for a change of scenery, with its own restaurants, breweries, and Amtrak station for guests arriving by train. On resort, the lift lines for Chair 1 and Chair 2 are close enough that "ski-in/ski-out" isn't a stretch of the term the way it sometimes is — you can see the chairs cycling past from the building.



WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR



Ski and snowboard couples or small groups who want to walk to the lift instead of driving every morning belong here — you can be on the chair before your coffee's even cold. Families of up to four who want one beautifully designed home base for the trip, rather than splitting across hotel rooms, will appreciate the king bed plus sofa-bed sleeping for four. Anyone who wants a soak in a hot tub and a sweat in the sauna after a long day on skis or a board will use both daily — they're just downstairs, not a drive away. And anyone tired of generic, beige ski-condo rentals will notice the difference the moment they walk in: this place was designed, not just furnished.



THE AMENITIES THAT MATTER



The two amenities that actually get used every day here are the shared hot tub and sauna — both just downstairs, both available year-round during set hours, and both exactly what you want after six hours on the mountain. The dedicated coffee bar means mornings start without a trip to town. Self check-in through a smart lock means no coordinating a key handoff after a long travel day — punch in your code and you're inside. A private balcony gives you a quiet spot to watch the mountain change color through the afternoon, and the wood-burning fireplace means the living room is warm the moment you walk in from the cold. Outside, a fire pit, a gas BBQ grill, and outdoor dining furniture round out the shared spaces for anyone who wants to extend the evening before heading back up for another day.



GOOD TO KNOW



Check-in is fully self-service via smart lock — no need to coordinate arrival times with anyone. Minimum stay is two nights, short enough for a quick long weekend but built for a full week on the mountain. Both free and paid parking are available on premises, and Instant Book is turned on, so you can lock in your dates the moment you find them without waiting on host approval. Housekeeping is available at an extra cost if you'd like a mid-stay refresh. The cancellation policy is Firm, so it's worth confirming your travel dates before booking, especially this close to peak season.



WHY GUESTS COME BACK



Bill has hosted here for seven years with a 4.94 rating across hundreds of stays, and he and co-host Brea respond within the hour — so if anything comes up during your stay, you're not left guessing. Between the ski-in/ski-out location, the genuinely custom design, the hot tub and sauna waiting after every run, and a kitchen and coffee bar stocked well enough to skip the grocery run entirely, Chasing Powder is built for guests who want the mountain experience without sacrificing comfort or character. Book your dates, grab your gear, and the lift is waiting under 200 feet from your front door.
