Dear Whitetail Club Members,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and for those of you who were able to join us for the traditional feast at the Clubhouse, I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest! In the spirit of gratitude, I want to express my sincere appreciation for everything you do to contribute to our vibrant community.
And just like that, we are officially into the holiday season. Marked by our Tree Lighting Mixer over Thanksgiving weekend, our Clubhouse patio is now decked out in festive lights to carry the holiday vibe throughout the season. If you missed it this year, or want to come again, we have it on the calendar for 2025.
If you are looking for great gifts, The Boathouse will be open again this year for holiday shopping from 1-5pm on select dates throughout the month. Additionally, we have extended the hours at the Golf Studio, which will now be open Thursday through Sunday evenings for those who want to keep their skills sharp during the winter. Please see page 7 or check the portal for more details.
You may have already seen for yourself, but we've had a fantastic start to winter. With three steady snow cycles Brundage Mountain had an early opening on Friday, November 22nd—great news for all our skiers and snowboarders!
We have a variety of holiday traditions and new events lined up this winter. See page 8 for what is on deck: from wreath-making and gingerbread house decorating to the opportunity to don your ugliest sweater, wisp down our sledding hill, and ice skating. December will culminate with our annual New Year's Eve celebration. This year, we bid adieu to 2024 and ring in 2025 at Midnight in the Enchanted Forest. Merchants of Groove's rock band will help set the mood for a fantastic evening of dinner and dancing for you and your guests. And with the new year in focus, our cover story looks ahead at the exciting things we have in store for 2025.
Please join me in welcoming new members Nathan and Heather Hosac to our Whitetail Club community.
Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and a happy, prosperous New Year!
Joe Robinson
The Year Ahead
At this time of year, it's easy be in the moment—whether we're frosting holiday cookies, decorating, gift shopping, giving back to the community, or spending time with family and friends. Something always seems to capture our full attention.
But as the New Year approaches, we also start dreaming about what lies ahead. In this issue, we are excited to share what’s to come at the club. Some of the new events from this past year will make a return and we will introduce some additions that we think will be just as popular.
Please remember that members can register for events online via our portal and app. You can also register by contacting the Club Concierge by

So Much to Discover
If you have friends, family, or colleagues interested in Whitetail Club, now is the perfect time to reserve their Discovery Tour. With a bustling events calendar coming up, there are countless reasons to invite potential members to spend the weekend with us. The Discovery Cottages were designed for those looking to experience life at Whitetail Club.
The word is out about the launch of Legacy Ranch, the impressive sales of The Fairways, and the availability of homesites in Phases 1 and 2. Needless to say, 2024 has been a big year for real estate. In addition to strong real estate sales, Whitetail Club has once again earned a spot on the prestigious 2024/25 Platinum Club of America award, solidifying its place among the country's best private clubs. When comparing our lifestyle, facilities, amenities, and event offerings, it's clear why people are drawn to our community. One distinct advantage of Whitetail Club is the selection of exceptional homesites. Many clubs are fully built out and only offer a limited inventory of resales. At Whitetail Club, members can go big and build their dream homes.
