As the Snow Flies
Downhill Dreams Are Made in Montana

Montana boasts more acreage per skier than anywhere else in the U.S. And with more than 300 inches of the fluffy white stuff blanketing seven ski areas in Glacier Country every year, a downhill getaway in Western Montana is kind of a no brainer. From big resorts to treasured local ski hills, you’ll find deep powder bowls, diverse terrain, idyllic mountain lodges and unrivaled views, not to mention friendly folks well-versed in the spirit of winter revelry. In fact, SKI Magazine ranked Whitefish Mountain Resort the 2020 No. 3 resort in the West. Our après ski game is strong, too, with charming mountain towns and cozy lodging. Plus, we’re second in the nation for breweries per capita. Skiers in the know head for the hills in Western Montana’s Glacier Country.

Nordic Ski Montana

The cross-country and skate ski trails zigzagging the landscapes between Montana’s two national parks—Glacier and Yellowstone—offer a world-class Nordic skiing experience. Winter enchants on pristine corduroy and classic tracks under big blue skies, and the mountain communities of Western Montana’s Glacier Country and Yellowstone Country Montana provide endless off-trail fun. Western hospitality prevails among luxury lodging, hot springs, art and music scenes, and exceptional restaurants, breweries and distilleries.

Do Something
Different This Winter

Chances are, you haven’t been on a
horse-drawn sleigh ride through a magical winter forest. You’ve probably also never ridden a bike through the snow, ice climbed a frozen waterfall, or watched a skijoring competition. These winter activities are par for the course in Western Montana, and our guides and outfitters can show you the way. Do winter in a place where winter isn’t just embraced, it’s celebrated. Case in point, the Whitefish Winter Carnival—just one of the many ways our communities take advantage of the season.
