Ski
Whitefish Montana
|
Attention Skiers: A member of our staff recently took a
"pre-ski season" familiarization trip
to Whitefish, Montana, via Amtrak and RMA Tours
and was very impressed with the Whitefish ski properties
and the area. Read on. Then call or
email Travel
Travel to book your Whitefish Ski package.

If
you're not in a hurry to get to your destination
and want to see the countryside, Amtrak is
definitely the way to go. While in Whitefish, I
had the opportunity to inspect many different
resorts, take a walk in the treetops, enjoy an
afternoon pontoon boat ride on Whitefish Lake, and
even experience a bear sighting!
|
The first day we inspected several resorts
including: Glacier Village Properties, Kristianna
Properties, Hibernation House, Kintla Lodge,
Edelweiss Condos, Alpinglow Inn and the newly
built Morning Eagle Lodge. All properties
were located right on Big Mountain and most of
them had ski-in rooms.
My personal favorite was a newly built townhouse
worth $1 million. The complexes were not yet
finished and only one was fully furnished.
These were very luxurious and they looked like
something that should be on a "celebrity
homes" television show..

Later in the day we took a
walk in the treetops. That included a
half-mile hike in the mountains that led to the spot
where we were able to walk on boards held up by
wires in the trees. The highest point was 70
feet above ground and the view was amazing.
Even if you are afraid of heights, It's an opportunity I would not miss. |
|
After all the touring and the adventure in the
trees, we decided to go downtown to get a taste of
Whitefish nightlife. We decided to spend the
rest of the evening at The Great Northern
listening to a live band and mingling with the
locals.
|
On the second day we inspected more properties
that included: Kandahar Lodge, Whitefish Lake
Lodge, Rocky Mountain Lodge, Grouse Mountain
Lodge, and Pine Lodge. We enjoyed breakfast
at the Kandahar Lodge (which has delicious
huckleberry pancakes). After touring the
lodge we headed back down to Whitefish to tour yet
more properties and do some shopping.
|
 |
That afternoon we headed over to
Whitefish Lake Lodge for an afternoon pontoon boat
ride. We couldn't ask for a better day.
The lake was calm, the weather was beautiful, and
the scenery was breathtaking. |
 |
|
That evening we had dinner at the Grouse Mountain
Lodge and it was delicious. To top off our evening
and our trip, we experienced a bear sighting that
was right across the road from our condo's.
It was quite humorous watching a bear that wasn't
phased by anything.
