montana coffee traders: Glacier National Park on a February Saturday
- 02/16/14 01:33 AM
It was a warmish, sunny day so we drove up to "the Park" yesterday. Stopped at Montana Coffee Traders in Columbia Falls on the way. It was Cabin Fever Days in Martin City - just west of the park so saw some action in that "town". We drove along Lake McDonald observing the beauty that was snow covered. The lake had some ice but was not solid. Went back to Apgar, walked through the art store then took a walk through the trees. The walk had been packed down with snow shoes and cross country skis so it was an easy … (2 comments)
montana coffee traders: Flathead Valley Update: January 20, 2013

Sun, and more sun!! While the valley has had a smattering of fog and clouds, Big Mountain has been in the sun. It is great to head up to ski and watch the car thermometer rise as we drive up higher in elevation. The valley can be 10 degrees and the summit of Whitefish Resort will be 23 degrees. Nice to sit on a high speed chair and get warmer instead of colder as you climb the hill. See the video below of the happenings from today on the mountain. Those telemark skiers skinning up the mountain are incredible athletes in … (1 comments)

It is all about skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort on a day like today. The photos below say it all. Music playing when we loaded on the first lift was "I can see for miles and miles and miles" - so appropriate. The visibility sign at the chair said "awesome". We rode up with a guy from New Zealand and who was taking photos the whole way. He moved to the Flathead Valley 6 years ago after searching all over the Northwest for a place to call home. He said where else can you find a ski hill, a national park, … (1 comments)
montana coffee traders: Flathead Valley Summer Fun
- 07/02/12 12:13 AM
Friday: trip up to Glacier National Park, walked on the South Boundary Trail and watched the rafters come down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Would have been a longer hike if we had thought of bug spray. Renewed our annual park pass and wandered around Lake McDonald and Apgar. Came out of the park via Camas Road turning onto the North Fork Road. Swung through Big Creek campground spotting sites to camp along the river. Saturday: Afternoon spent down at Dayton on Flathead Lake cleaning the sailboat and replacing lines. Beautiful weather and fun social time at the docks. … (0 comments)

Well, I guess winter is here. Beautiful sunshine on the new snow today after off and on blizzard type weather the last couple of days. Whitefish Mountain Resort opens December 3 for skiing so getting some nice assistance from the weather. From the valley floor, the slopes are clearly covered in white. Saturday morning drive into Whitefish to get a fleece jacket for the little house dog. He didn't look kindly at the cold weather when he needed to head outside to do his duty. Tailwaggers had just the thing, a locally made fleece coat for him. Then a walk over … (0 comments)
