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.

Glaciers to Geysers:
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.

Winter in Glacier National Park
The Crown of the Continent is downright heavenly under a blanket of pure white snow. Take a guided snowshoe walk in search of wildlife and wintry wonder near the foot of Lake McDonald or cross-country ski the gorgeous Going-to-the-Sun Road. Soak up warm western hospitality and cozy accommodations at the Izaak Walton Inn in Essex, where you can book a stay in the historic lodge or a luxury train car. Or, stay in a private cabin at the Historic Tamarack Lodge in Hungry Horse.
