The discounts are deep and wide for active and retired members of the military: 50 percent off lift tickets, free basic equipment rentals, 50 percent off group lessons, and 25 to 50 percent off on-mountain lodging for active-duty and retired members of the armed forces, as well as their spouses and dependents.
Graves received a letter from Brigadier General John E. Walsh, which was read aloud by Lt. Colonel Boettcher, of Kalispell.
"The efforts your resort team members make to welcome and host military families every year is [sic] very much appreciated. Support such as your helps to ensure our National Guard families have exciting opportunities to enjoy some time together," wrote Gen. Walsh.
"The military, the armed forces . . . those are the people that are the real heroes in the world. They don't look for thank-yous; sometimes, they get the opposite," Graves responded. "They do it because they know they have to."
Whitefish Mountain Resort's military discounts are available throughout the season, with some restrictions on lodging discounts Feb. 12 - 14. For more information, visit skiwhitefish.com or call 877-SKI-FISH.
