Whitefish, Montana

Sitting by the southern edge of beautiful Whitefish Lake and at the foot of the Whitefish Range, the town of Whitefish boasts the best of both worlds. It is an authentic mountain town that has remained true to its roots. Whitefish is home to Whitefish Mountain Resort, the region's biggest ski area. Locals and visitors enjoy the mountain all winter, taking advantage of light powder and tree skiing. There are also many opportunities for backcountry adventures in Glacier National Park, which is only 30 minutes away, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex just south of the national park. The lands are wild, well preserved, and largely untouched by the human hand. Whitefish's remote location means the village is quieter than other towns across Montana and the west. Still, with a storied past as a logging town on the Great Northern Railway, Whitefish has always been a northern outpost for society. A vibrant nightlife includes restaurants, bars, clubs, and a brewery that creates year-round and seasonal artisan beers. Picturesque Canadian towns like Fernie and Kimberley are only a few hours' drive away. Whitefish, the gem of Northwestern Montana, is a mecca for those who love the outdoors as well as the finer things in life.
