Skiiers, snowboarders and general winter sports aficionados already have their sights set on the upcoming season – with many having already planned out for their vacation.<\/p>\n

However, those who are last minute planners and want to avoid the rush to secure accommodations at the major ski resorts might want to consider the quieter, lesser known spots.<\/p>\n

One outstanding offering, located in the state of\u00a0Montana, is the town of Whitefish, where getting on a slope costs a fraction of the price – and perhaps also time – then the most popular spots.<\/p>\n

With a daily ski lift rate of $97 per adult, $83 per teen, and $49 per 7 to 12-year-old child, Whitefish Mountain Resort stands out thanks to its affordability.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the resort also boasts adult season passes starting at just $140 for uphill only sessions, and $1,100 for unlimited skiing.<\/p>\n

Situated at the border of Glacier National Park, Whitefish is a vibrant small town nestled in an untamed environment.<\/p>\n

Established in the early 20th century, thanks in part to the Great Northern Railway, the town’s prosperity endures, bolstered by the presence of the expansive 3,000-acre Whitefish Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Although the spotlight often shines on the extensive 5,800 acres of Big Sky Mountain Resort, Whitefish merits its own recognition as an unassuming yet outstanding destination for skiing and snowboarding.<\/p>\n

Over nearly a decade, the resort has consistently enhanced its offerings, implementing various improvements such as new glading projects and new groomers.<\/p>\n

Whitefish’s streets are adorned with an array of high-quality dining establishments, ski shops, cozy cafes, distilleries, and breweries.<\/p>\n

And if all that wasn\u2019t enough, the Glacier National Park, located only 27 miles from Whitefish, boasts 700 miles of well marked trails, which include a variety of mountain lakes, 25 named glaciers and 1,000 species of plant life.<\/p>\n

In the winter months, the Going-to-the Sun Road becomes a perfect terrain for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.<\/p>\n

While, during the summer, numerous destinations along this iconic road can be accessed by eco-friendly passenger shuttle buses offered within the park.<\/p>\n
