Southwest Montana is a winter paradise.
When one thinks of Montana, their minds are often drawn to the wide-open spaces and towering mountains.
While some see winter as the perfect excuse to bundle up with a book near a cozy fire in the comfort of their own homes, we like to look at winter as the perfect time to explore!
Most Montanans will tell you that one of their favorite things about where they live is the immense access to nature.
Winter does not put a damper on this sentiment but provides the landscape with a fresh look and visitors with a new perspective of The Last Best Place.
Whether you are looking for an adrenaline rush or a more laid-back adventure, this winter may be the perfect time to pick up a new hobby! Learn more about some of our favorite winter recreation or check out the upcoming Holiday Events across the region!
