Montana has over a dozen incredible mountains to enjoy during the winter. Whether you prefer local ski areas or resorts, Montana has something for everyone. One thing that can make a huge difference in where you want to ski is the town where the mountain is.

Having a fun ski town makes your ski day even better. Many places around Montana with ski areas are unique and can be a blast for ski-goers before or after their day of hitting the slopes.

Where is the best ski town in Montana? Is it Bozeman or Big Sky? You might be surprised to find the answer.

Travel & Leisure made a list of the 14 Best Ski Towns in America, and one Montana spot just made the list.

Landing on the list at #14 is the quaint town of Whitefish. Whitefish is close to Whitefish Mountain Resort and offers everything a winter enthusiast could wish for. Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing are all available, and Whitefish has free transportation to and from the ski area.

Whitefish's downtown area is a dream during the winter. Their Main Street has a perfect view and offers shopping and food everyone can enjoy.

Even though Montana only had one town on the list, we would also have to tell you about ski towns like Philipsburg and Red Lodge to be considered.
