Replying to Skiing With a Church Group

So i'm usually stuck skiing my rocky home hill near Helena and I have the opportunity to go to Whitefish in late January with my church group. The thing is most of the kids in my church group are total goons and probably never ski at all and I'll have to stay with them (not while skiing). Is it worth it to go to Whitefish with my goony church group and shred alone? Info about Whitefish and what it's like that time of year would also be helpful. +K for good answers.
