Ski Whitefish. Stay in Glacier Country.
Skiing Whitefish Mountain Resort is a highlight of any winter season, but finding the right base camp can be a challenge. While staying slope-side has its appeal, accommodations in Glacier Country—just 28 minutes from the mountain—offer real advantages for your budget and peace of mind. Here’s why staying a bit further out is the smarter move for your next ski trip.
Escape the Crowds
Downtown Whitefish is fun, but it can get congested during peak season. By staying in Glacier Country, you get to leave the noise behind after the lifts close. You can enjoy the quiet of the Montana wilderness in the evenings without sacrificing access to the mountain during the day. It’s a calmer, more authentic experience that lets you recharge for the next day on the slopes.
Hassle-Free Parking
Parking in a resort town often involves circling blocks, paying high daily fees, or navigating tight hotel garages. Lodging options in Glacier Country generally provide ample, free parking right at your door. There is plenty of room for your vehicle, your gear, and even a trailer if you’re hauling snowmobiles.
The Scenic Bonus
When you stay in town, your view is often the building next door. In Glacier Country, your backdrop is one of the most stunning landscapes in North America. The drive to and from the mountain is scenic rather than stressful, offering views of snow-covered pines and the peaks of Glacier National Park that you just don’t get from a downtown hotel window.
Better Value for Families and Groups
Slope-side condos and downtown hotels often charge a premium for small square footage. In Glacier Country, your dollar goes further. You are more likely to find spacious cabins or homes with full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and living areas. This makes it a far better option for families or groups planning longer stays, allowing everyone to spread out without breaking the bank.
