 Whitefish Mountain Resort is nicknamed the "Big Mountain" because it offers 3,000 acres of skiing and snowboarding, 113 marked trails, and plentiful bowl and tree skiing. Those new to the area can sign up for one of the free daily mountain tours to learn all about the terrain. The resort also offers night skiing, which lets guests capitalize on late-day storms.

 

After time on the slopes, you can take a break and head to nearby Glacier National Park. Families might want to check out the Summit Nature Center, where kids can sign up to be a Junior Snow Ranger and learn about where animals go in the winter, snow safety, and more.
