Montana transforms into a winter wonderland in the Flathead Valley, offering unforgettable cold-season adventures for every type of traveler. Snowboarding and skiing take center stage at renowned destinations like Whitefish Mountain Resort, known for its expansive terrain, stunning views of Glacier National Park, and diverse runs for all skill levels, as well as Blacktail Mountain, a local favorite offering a more relaxed, scenic skiing experience overlooking Flathead Lake. Beyond the slopes, visitors can embrace the magic of winter with unique activities like dog sledding through snow-covered forests, guided snowmobile tours across open backcountry landscapes, and peaceful cross-country skiing along groomed trails surrounded by quiet pine forests. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or seeking serene snowy escapes, Montana’s winter experiences deliver adventure, beauty, and unforgettable moments under the Big Sky.
Experience the thrill of soaring above Montana’s breathtaking landscapes with the Whitefish Mountain Resort Zip Line Tour. Glide up to 300 feet above the forest on a series of six exciting lines, including an incredible 1,900-foot span—one of the longest lift-served zip lines around. Take in sweeping views of the Flathead Valley as you ride side-by-side with friends on this guided two-hour adventure, complete with light hiking between platforms. For even more excitement, upgrade your experience with a scenic lift ride and alpine slide access, making it a perfect addition to your Montana getaway.
Here at our Montana guest ranch, the horseback riding program is focused on you. When you’re a guest here, you can ride as much or as little as you’d like. We offer daily riding options for a variety of ability levels, with varied lengths and routes that allow you to choose what type of riding experience you’d like to have from day to day. Our experienced team of wranglers lead our guest trail rides in, around and through the ranch’s 2,000 acres. Along the way, you’ll traverse trails that meander through forested terrain and our private on-site elk preserve as we explore some of Montana’s most beautiful landscapes, including spectacular views of Flathead Lake. For horseback trail rides, all riders must be at least 6 years old, while kids 12 and under must wear a helmet while riding. As with any activity, our biggest concern is always the health and safety of our guests. Riders over 250 pounds will ride (or not ride) at the discretion of the barn manager and/or wrangler on duty. A new addition in 2024, we now have an advanced riding program. Headquartered at the South Corral in our on-site elk preserve, our advanced options include trail rides, learning advanced horsemanship skills and working cattle. To participate in the advanced riding program, your riding skill will be accessed by a wrangler.
