5 Things to do this Winter in Kalispell and Whitefish
Winter is a three month season that holds both the coldest days and the shortest days. The population is usually split on what season is better. The long and sunny days of summer or the dark and cold days of winter. Summer is known more for vacations and family activities and winter is for staying inside, staying warm, and spending time with family especially during Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays.
Here in Montana the winter weather can be a lot more extreme than other parts of the country. It’s colder and darker for longer.
Go Skiing
Well, it doesn’t have to be all gloomy for the entire three months. Luckily, Whitefish, Montana is home to the third ranked ski area in North America by Ski Magazine. So if you love to ski then you’re in luck and winter is amazing. Big Mountain is a gorgeous ski area with views of the Flathead valley as you ski or snowboard.
Build a Snowman
If skiing isn’t your thing or maybe you are on a budget don’t fret. The Flathead valley usually gets lots of snow. Snow means snowman building and snowball fights. Kalisell averages over 56 inches of snow each year. So if you’re on a budget, go outside in your own yard and challenge your kids or friends to a snowball fight.
