Our first ever trip to this Montana destination! The main draw to Whitefish is, of course, the skiing and boarding. The local Whitefish Mountain Resort exudes a laid-back vibe -- it’s the kind of resort where you might bump into your bartender or server while waiting for a chairlift. But don’t let this relaxed atmosphere fool you, this is a resort with serious snow.
You’re in Montana after all, where the light and fluffy precipitation is hard to beat. Geographically, the resort couldn’t be more aptly located. Since the town is situated right on the Continental Divide, it means it gets to enjoy all those big Pacific snowstorms and the snow that comes with it. Annually, Whitefish Mountain Resort gets about 330 inches of snow, giving you good odds for scoring a powder day. The weather also stays pretty consistent, meaning that the snowpack won’t get ruined by a pesky freeze-thaw cycle. It’s not unusual to ski two weeks after a storm and still enjoy the turns, rather than trying to make refrozen crud fun.
To understand what sets Whitefish apart from other outdoor meccas simply requires a stroll downtown. This former railroad hub has evolved into a foodie’s absolute dream destination, with an assortment of mouth-watering restaurants, cafes, and bars all clustered right in town.
All this and a wonderful hotel. Join us for our inaugural trip to Whitefish!
