Located near Glacier National Park in northwest Montana, Whitefish Mountain Resort (formerly Big Mountain Ski Resort) is quickly becoming a popular destination resort for many reasons. Great snow and some of the Northwest's most beautiful scenery combined with a lower base elevation and milder temperatures is why many skiers & snowboarders are finding their way here. In 2007, WMR reached the 'Top 20' ski resort ranking from Condé Nast Traveler. Summertime activities also include hiking, biking and grizzly bear watching. Other local activities include boating and fishing on nearby Flathead Lake (the country's largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi) as well as dozens of other lakes and rivers. Come here any time of the year and you won't want to leave!
