Some wintry thoughts and reflections
A Montana winter is a varied and engaging experience of being immersed in the natural beauty and wonderment of a
snowy country winter. A remarkable feature of winter in the Flathead Valley is that with all the snow comes remarkably
moderate temperatures. Winters in the Valley are typically characterized by the wonderful combination of getting cold
enough to snow but no colder, which lends for a comfortably fun time in all the white stuff. Here you will find a country
winter in a pristine setting with every outdoor activity for a fully satisfying winter experience.
Winter getaways are times to gather with family and friends, who commonly have a variety of interests. A couple of
persons are avid Alpine skiers, some other people love to snowmobile, every group seems to have its share of
cross-country skiers, and some others may want to ice skate, build snowpersons, ride on a horse-drawn sleigh, walk
down country lanes, explore surrounding woods, be alone with a special someone, or start a roaring fire in the hearth
and sip cappuccino. What to do with such a crew? Well one answer is to stay in a home that gives people room to roam
and serves as a base for a variety of activities, inside and around and away from the home. And then everyone comes
together in the late afternoon and evening to tell varied stories of adventures, fun, sights and sounds, and soothing
relaxation. Now that's a winter to everyones' satisfaction!
You, your family, and friends will love winter in Montana
It is a fun place to be
And it is a strikingly beautiful place to be
In Montana, winter beauty is a beauty all its own
Summer beauty is raw and tall and in your face
Fall beauty is quiet like an expanse of color
Or the patter of a soft falling rain
But winter beauty is all cast in white
With snowflakes that can be as big as your outstretched hand
Softly parading before you
And lighting down on you
Mountains stretch gorgeously in a stark white pose
Full of strength and drama in their new winter clothes
Vain cocky
Arrogant showy
Wintry mountains demand our attention
And GET it!
Thin slight fingers of ice
Delicately connected
Web through an expanse of naked branches
Holding the tree together
Prisming the rays of a morning sun
Framing it in a halo of grandeur
You appreciate the enormity of such a season
With qualities that contrast and collide
But, together, fit so well
Marked by fragility and strength
Fineness and grandness
Ferocity and gentleness
And keen independence
Taking over your senses
Giving them back only later
Leaving you with precious gifts
Of vivid memories
And distinct pleasures

Winter in Montana is a lovely time
And is loved
For all the special things
That only it can bring
People who love winter. . .
They love its snow, sports, and fun
From skiing and sledding
To snowmobiling and ice skating
Snow in the country provides a much better time
Than snow in the city!
They love fire from a hearth
Crackling and strong
Warming themselves and loved ones
In a blanketed embrace
Cooking marshmallows on crooked sticks
Deep dark runny
Trying not to burn their tongues
Together with their families
Or special persons in their lives
Affording a sweet intimacy
Only a fire in the winter can bring
They love winter play
Snowpersons
Snow ball fights
Snow down their backs
Or in their pants
And the laughs and shrieks of their children
Who love snow only as children can
They love watching animals
In their winter routines
Going about their tasks
With such apparent ease
Herds of deer walk across iced-over lakes
Journeying to islands for food and sap-breaks
Some fall through the ice every now and again
And scramble back up from their quite chilly dip
Safe and wet, quickly shaking it off
Trot back to the herd
To continue their trip
Winter birds all the while
Flying floating
Gliding drifting
Watch Nature's movements
From far overhead
They love a snow freshly fallen
Pure crisp bright
Like a soft feathery down
And always to the children's delight!
Winter is lots of lovely things
To people who love winter
Winter beauty truly is a beauty all its own
And winter is most beautiful in Montana
Montana gives you winter in all its beautiful forms
Every sport, every view, every wonder
We welcome you, your family, and friends
To a Montana winter
