Cat Skiing Montana with a Perma-Grin
Mar 2011 06

“Don’t mix business with pleasure”.  We’ve all heard the mantra, right?  WRONG.  I knew that this “Cannon” hadn’t been heard in Whitefish, Montana.  Even if it had, I would bet the crew members at Great Northern Powder Guides had their ears so packed with fresh powder that it would be impossible to hear it anyway.

Nestled in the woods on the western side of the Continental Divide, casually resting some 3000 feet above sea level is a little Montana town called Whitefish.  Home to Whitefish Mountain Resort, several fine eateries, some killer Brews, Phil Jackson, and Great Northern Powder Guides (although I’d prefer if you kept that last one a secret).

Whitefish is a casual 20 minutes from Kalispell Airport and with the SNOW bus running laps from Kalispell to Whitefish there is no need to rent a car.  One member of our crew, coming in from Washington, wanted to experience the commute on the historic Great Northern Railroad.  A journey that he said was “A bit long, but scenic and relaxing.” The truth is, it doesn’t matter how you get here, just get here.  This place is a total skiers’ paradise (unless you’re the type of skier that wants long lift lines and shitty hard pack).
