L
ong before the first white man ever laid eyes on Hutchinson brothers – in the early 1890s. Logging Whitefish Lake, a handful of native American tribes crews “boomed-up” their logs behind a dam built at inhabited the area, most notably the Kootenai, the the river mouth by the Boston & Montana Commercial Pend d’Orielle and the Bitteroot Salish. Archaeologists Company, which, when opened, created a rush of water say the Kootenai have lived in the area for more than that helped float the logs down the river to Kalispell. 14,000 years, inhabiting the mountainous terrain west Crews laying track for the Great Northern of the Continental Divide, and traveling “... the first Railway entered the Flathead Valley from east of the divide for occasional buffalo hunts. The Salish people occupied passenger train what is now West Glacier in 1891, and initially followed a route through Columbia territory in Washington, Idaho and arrived at the Falls and Kalispell, then west through western Montana, and shared hunting and gathering grounds with the Kootenai and Whitefish Depot Idaho and Washington to the Pacific on October 4, Ocean. But the route west of Kalispell Pend d’Oreille tribes during the 1800s. included a difficult climb over the Salish 1904.” Mountains … a steep and tortuous grade In the mid-1850s, a group of trappers winding slowly up one side, then just as working the Flathead Valley’s rivers, painstakingly down the other. lakes and streams for beaver and other pelts came upon a group of Indians pulling a native fish species – Whitefish – from a long, narrow lake … and suddenly, It wasn’t long before the railroad’s survey team was sent back to Montana, charged with finding a new – and after tens of thousands of years, the lake had a name! easier – route out of the Flathead Valley. And that’s Though trappers, traders and waves of westward when the two most important decisions in the small immigrants passed through the area during the second settlement’s short history were made: the decision to half of the century, it wasn’t until 1883 that the first re-route the Great Northern Railway north to Eureka permanent settler – John Morton – built a cabin on the before heading west to the coast; and another to locate shore of Whitefish Lake, just west of the mouth of the the railroad’s regional headquarters at the south end of Whitefish River.

historic Whitefish Depot, and dozens of freight trains pass through the BNSF railyards every day, en route from Chicago to Seattle and all points in between. And the farms and ranches that surround our town continue to produce enough beef, pork, fruits and vegetables to feed the Flathead – and then some! In recent d e c a d e s , tourism has risen to the top of Whitefish’s economic food chain. The Whitefish area has gained international recognition as a recreational and retirement haven – a special place to get away from the rat race, raise a family, run a business … and make a difference!
Timber, farming, ranching and the railroad were the backbone of the town’s economy – and culture – for the next 50 years. In time, summer cabins began popping-up along the shores of Whitefish Lake, and the strength of the logging industry began to wane. Modern technology (and equipment) led to a severe downsizing of the railroad’s workforce. The economy was on a downward skid, but changes were on the horizon for Whitefish. A nine-hole golf course and clubhouse was built in the 1950s, and in the early ‘60s another nine holes were added. By the mid-1990s, Whitefish Golf Course had grown to 36 holes – the largest (and best!) in the state of Montana. Meanwhile, a few adventurous Whitefish folks had been bitten by the downhill skiing “bug” in the 1930s and ‘40s, and began hiking to the upper reaches of Hellroaring Mountain so they could ski back down an open slope into the Hellroaring Basin. In 1947, the first lift was built at what became Big Mountain Ski Area, these days known as Whitefish Mountain Resort, the cornerstone of our area’s winter tourist trade. Whitefish is still a working railroad town. More than 300 workers are directly employed by Burlington Northern/Santa Fe, and hundreds of families rely on the highly-skilled – and high-paying – jobs that BNSF creates. Amtrak passengers arrive twice daily at the 2013 - Whitefish Chamber of Commerce Community Guide & Member Directory 7
History of Whitefish
The new Whitefish Townsite was surveyed and dedicated in June of 1903. Land was acquired, the rail yards were constructed, and a town was platted. Timber clearing and construction began in earnest, with most of the materials and supplies being hauled-in on a spur line built from Columbia Falls to the new townsite. The “cut-off” connecting Whitefish and Columbia Falls was completed in August of 1904, and the first passenger train arrived at the Whitefish Depot on October 4, 1904. In April of 1905, the Town of Whitefish was incorporated and held its first official Town Council meeting.
Recreation & Attractions

Y
ou know, there’s more to Whitefish, Montana than just breathtaking scenery, a great ski hill, abundant wildlife and a spectacular alpine lake. But there’s no ignoring the obvious: the #1 attraction that brings visitors to our city – the Great Outdoors – also fuels an active lifestyle for residents that is second to none. Just minutes from downtown Whitefish lies worldrenowned Glacier National Park, 1,600 square miles of the most awe-inspiring mountain peaks, waterfalls, rushing streams and glaciers to be found in North America. As the shining jewel in the so-called “Crown of the Continent” region, Glacier attracts millions of visitors from around the globe each year – folks who come to hike its 700+ miles of trails, sleep in magnificent 100-year-old log hotels, explore the crags and canyons that abound … and maybe catch a glimpse of a bighorn sheep, a herd of elk or a grizzly bear! But when the hordes of visitors go home in September, Glacier becomes “our park” for the next nine months … a place we can go to recharge the batteries whenever we feel the need; a place to explore at our own pace and in our own way, whether it be on showshoes, skis or horseback, in a raft, on a bike or in a tent. If Glacier’s the crown, there are certainly plenty of other “natural jewels” to choose from in the Whitefish area, beginning with Whitefish Lake! The southern shore
of the lake, and the ever-popular Whitefish City Beach, is just blocks from the heart of downtown Whitefish. Fed by the waters of Swift Creek, Lazy Creek and Hellroaring Creek, the lake is popular with users of all sorts: swimmers, kayakers, fishermen, water- and jetskiers, paddle-boarders, wind-surfers, ice fishermen, and every imaginable type of motorized – and selfpropelled – boat known to mankind. Whitefish Lake is 7 miles long, 2.5 miles wide and 222 feet deep at its deepest point. In addition to Whitefish City Beach – with it’s family-friendly (and roped-off) beach, manned lifeguard towers and picnic gazebos – the public can also access the lake at either Whitefish Lake State Park on the Lake’s west shore, or Les Mason State Park on the eastern shoreline of the Lake. In the summertime it’s all about being outside, and there’s no better way to see nature than to hike (or bike) on one of the area’s many trail systems. The Lion Mountain trailhead provides access to The Whitefish Trail – fifteen-plus miles of well maintained, dogfriendly trails (with more being added each year.) If a casual stroll is more to your liking, try the paved Whitefish Bike & Pedestrian Trail System, which meanders around town and along the Whitefish River. For a more heart pumping workout, head up to Whitefish Mountain Resort and hike the Danny

The Zip-Line Tour at Whitefish Mountain Resort is one of the most popular summertime activities on the hill, often requiring reservations days in advance. But the Walk in the Treetops, Alpine Slide and Aerial Adventure Park are just as popular with visitors and locals alike. Countless adventures await those who prefer “pedal power” to hoofing it. So whether your cycling sights are set on screaming down a single track mountain trail, pushing the pedals on a long road ride, taking the family out for an afternoon of easy trail riding, or pedaling to City Beach for some R&R on a beautiful sunny day … Whitefish offers it all! Mountain biking opportunities range from resort riding at Whitefish Mountain Resort to trail rides just outside of town at Spencer Mountain, the Whitefish
Trail, Round Meadows and Tally Lake. There are trails to accommodate everyone from kids on training wheels to the most veteran off-road riders … and road cyclists have a myriad of options in the area as well. Whitefish has been named a “Top-50 Golf Destination” by Golf Digest Magazine, and it’s no wonder! Nine championship golf courses are within a forty-five minute drive of Whitefish, and the outstanding quality and affordability of the valley’s golf courses are well known throughout the US and Canada. Add to that our 16 hours of summertime daylight and temperatures that average in the mid-70’s, and anytime’s a good time to play a round in Whitefish. Whitefish Lake Golf Club offers Montana’s only 36-hole golf complex; its tree-lined fairways, wellbunkered (and spacious) bentgrass greens and spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery make for an excellent golfing experience for players of all ages and skill levels. If you’re looking to get your heart pounding and adrenaline flowing, look no further than the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, where any of a half-dozen professional rafting companies will be happy to get you chest-deep in whitewater!

Recreation & Attractions
On Trail to the summit of Big Mountain, where you’ll find breathtaking views of the Flathead Valley, eyepopping fields of colorful wildflowers, and some of the best huckleberry picking around. Those looking for a more relaxing experience can catch a scenic chairlift ride to the top of Big Mountain … but there’s plenty more for the more adventuresome to experience at the resort as well.

Flathead – with names like “Bonecrusher” and “Jaws” – are more than enough to satisfy the whitewater purist, but there are also a menu of “gentler” options designed with families in mind. If you’re looking to get a true “Old West” experience, maybe it’s time to saddle-up and hit the trail! The Whitefish area has several different stables and ranches that offer everything from 1-hour horseback rides to multi-day overnight trips into Glacier National Park and the Great Bear Wilderness. Summer and fall are “prime time” for sportsmen in the Flathead Valley, as fishing and floating picks up on both the Middle and North Forks of the Flathead
River and a hundred other, smaller, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. Anglers flock to our area in search of westslope cutthroat trout, rainbows and whitefish, but they’ll occasionally pull in some hefty bull trout, a kokanee salmon or northern pike. Fall is the deer and elk season in northwestern Montana, and those serious about filling their tags will find the hunting here to be both challenging and rewarding. When winter sets-in, in Whitefish, we don’t go into hibernation … we catch our second wind! Winter sports abound here in the shadow of Whitefish Mountain Resort, where more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain, 98 runs and 13 lifts constantly beckon to powder hounds and beginners alike. The lift lines are short, the people friendly, the snow plentiful, and – best of all – lift ticket prices are among the most affordable of any major US ski resort. Off the hill, things are just as busy. Whitefish is a wintertime mecca for snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, ski-joring, sleigh riding, ice skating … and cross-country skiing. A wide array of groomed nordic skiing trails are available throughout the Whitefish area. Tours in Glacier National Park take you through breathtaking scenery, and the Whitefish Lake Golf Club magically transforms into the Glacier Nordic Center in winter – a

15-kilometer Nordic touring center that is tracked and groomed for skating and classic skiing, with five kilometers of lighted trails for night skiing. Another magnet of wintertime activity is the Stumptown Ice Den, an Olympic-style rink in the heart of Whitefish that is popular with figure skaters, hockey players and recreational skaters throughout northwestern Montana. The “Den” is open from early September until April, and hosts skating lessons and performances, hockey leagues, tournaments, and daily open skating for the public. Northwest Montana offers some of the most incredible snowmobiling terrain to be found anywhere, and a trio of local businesses have the equipment – and know-how – to make sure your day on the trails is safe and enjoyable. And if you’re looking for a mode of transportation with a little more “horse” and a lot less power, consider a

magine what it would be like to live in a place that most people feel lucky to visit once in a lifetime. The fact of the matter is … that’s what it’s like to live in Whitefish! We don’t have to take a vacation to visit Glacier National Park, to grab some “first tracks” at one of America’s top ski resorts, to catch a Broadway play, or to experience the excitement of a small-town rodeo. All that and more is part of our day-to-day life in Whitefish. It’s been said that our community is an island of culture, surrounded by an ocean of mountain recreation. And whether you’re looking for that perfect piece of mountain-inspired art, you want to be “wowed” by a Broadway-caliber show, or you’re ready to enjoy some Rocky Mountain bluegrass … you’re bound to find what

The internationally-acclaimed Alpine Theatre Project produces world-class musical theatre and drama, showcasing seasoned professionals with major league credits, many of them direct from Broadway! The ATP offers Whitefish residents the opportunity to see actors, directors and productions that are normally seen only in major metropolitan areas, and they do it in two state-of-the-art downtown theaters – the O’Shaughnessy Center and the Whitefish Performing Arts Center. In addition, the Whitefish Theatre Company presents community theatre productions, national and international theatre and music events, concerts for senior citizens and educational outreach performances for area children.

The Flathead Valley is home to a number of wonderful museums, including the Stumptown Historical Society Museum in the historic Whitefish Train Depot. Just 10 miles south of town, the city of Kalispell is host to the renowned Hockaday Art Museum, the historic Conrad Mansion and numerous fine art galleries.
The Glacier Symphony Orchestra performs classical, holiday, and pops concerts each season, accompanied by world-class (and emerging) guest artists. The Glacier Chorale is a 75-voice symphonic choir, and together the two have brought the world’s greatest music to the Flathead since 1981 – including the acclaimed Festival Amadeus, which kicks-off with a free concert in Whitefish Depot Park in late July. Live music abounds in Whitefish. From the “open mic” nights at our watering holes to the best “world music” at the O’Shaughnessy Center … from the Montana Music Festival (over Labor Day Weekend) to the topnotch rock, country, jazz and jam-bands that help photo by jessica lowry keep the blood flowing in January … there’s never a shortage of talented live entertainment in Whitefish.

special events I
t’s been said that no one throws a party like Whitefish, and for good reason. The natural beauty of the area, its colorful history and cultural amenities make it the perfect place to hold special events, fairs and festivals that are uniquely Whitefish. Most every weekend throughout the summer – and frequently throughout the year – you can find an art show, a music festival, an athletic competition or street fair in Whitefish. Through the years, several of Whitefish’s “signature” events have grown to near-legendary proportions, most notably the “granddaddy of ‘em all,” Winter Carnival.

events including the raucous Grand Parade and the “Penguin Plunge” into Whitefish Lake on Saturday afternoon. Winter Winefest is a fundraiser for the Shuttle Network of Whitefish, otherwise known as the SNOW Bus. This upscale evening of wine, food and a charity auction raises money to support the wintertime bus system that connects the town of Whitefish and the base of the ski area.

Whitefish Arts Festival – Held the first weekend in July in Whitefish Depot Park, the three-day event features the work of more than 100 regional artists and craftsmen, as well as a variety of food vendors and entertainment. The Mountain Madness Air Show is scheduled for late July at Glacier Park International Airport, this year’s show will include performances by the Blue Angels and an array of unique and vintage aircraft.
Taste of Whitefish – Once Labor Day’s in the books, life in Whitefish returns to a more normal pace and it’s time for the “Taste” … one of the best small town food festivals in the Northwest. More than 30 different restaurants and caterers go all-out to impress upwards of 600 attendees, who also sip on locally-produced wine, beer and whiskey. Great Northwest Oktoberfest – For two weekends in late September and early October, Whitefish is transformed to “Munich in the Mountains,” hosting the largest – and most authentic – Oktoberfest in the Pacific Northwest. Authentic Bavarian food, beer, music, dancing and more, all under the Oktoberfest Bigtop in Depot Park. Halloween in Whitefish – We all know that Whitefish’s downtown clubs go all-out every night … but on Halloween, watch out! Central Avenue turns into Ghoul Central early on Halloween night, and by 10 p.m. there are hundreds of costumed characters roaming the entertainment district.
Festival Amadeus – Montana’s only weeklong classical music festival returns to Whitefish in August for its sixth season. Glacier Symphony & Chorale Music Director John Zoltek leads the Festival Amadeus Orchestra in an free opening night outdoor concert in Depot Park, followed by a series of indoor performances at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center. Huckleberry Days – One of the highlights of summer in the Whitefish area is picking wild huckleberries … and another is the Huckleberry Days Arts Festival: three full days of smalltown events, and one big-time arts & crafts show! More than 125 local and regional vendors strut their stuff in Depot Park for three days in mid-August, while elsewhere around town enjoy pancake breakfasts, swap meets, live music, charity fundraisers and the Chamber’s Huckleberry Dessert Bake-Off! SNOW Bus Brewfest – Another fundraiser for our wintertime bus system, this time downtown in Depot Park. Beautiful late August weather, 40 different icecold, Montana-made beers on tap, a little bit of live music … what’s not to like?
Christmas Stroll – Whitefish is known as Montana’s “Holiday Village” for a reason … because we literally “lightup” for the holidays like no other community anywhere! The Stroll brings our community together to kickoff the Holiday Season in style photo courtesy of jim abels for a little holiday shopping, and a lot of caroling, bonfires, tree-lighting ceremony, gingerbread house-making, chestnuts roasting, sleigh riding, and – of course – visiting with Santa! New Years Eve on Big Mountain – Whitefish Mountain Resort will help ring-in 2014 with their annual Torchlight Parade and Fireworks extravaganza on New Year’s Eve at the ski area.

education O
ne reason that growing families choose to live in the Whitefish area is the quality educational experience that our local schools offer, from preschool all the way through college. Perennially ranked among the top school districts in all of Montana, the Whitefish School District serves more than 1,500 students enrolled at four centrally located facilities: Muldown Elementary School (K-4), Whitefish Middle School (5-8), Whitefish High School (9-12), and Whitefish Independent High School, which provides a non-traditional setting for grades 10-12. Whitefish students are expected to complete a rigorous academic program from kindergarten through grade 12. Major emphasis at the elementary level focuses on strong reading, language and math skills; the middle and high school programs add to that strong foundation a variety of fine arts programs, along with advanced placement classes in English, Government, Science and Math. The district’s Virtual High School (VHS) program is open to students beginning in the 8th grade, offering more than 300 courses to those interested in challenging themselves them with a diverse curriculum taught online by nationally known instructors. High school students also have the option of attending Flathead Valley Community College while still at WHS through the Running Start program. Running Start gives eligible high school

juniors and seniors the opportunity to get a start on their college career by earning dual credit simultaneously at WHS and FVCC. One advantage of small town life is that parents have plenty of opportunities to help improve the quality of their kids’ education, and that’s particularly true in Whitefish. The Bulldog Boosters and Parent Teacher Association are two of the strongest service organizations in
“Whitefish students are expected to complete a rigorous academic program from kindergarten through grade 12.” town, and play an active and important role in assuring that Whitefish kids get the best possible education. The residents of Whitefish stand strong behind their schools, last year approving a nearly $20 million school bond to fund construction of a new Whitefish High School. Our local schools and students are also supported by the Whitefish School District Education Foundation, a community based nonprofit organization established to maintain and enhance the educational opportunities, programs and standards of the Whitefish School District. Established in 1967, Flathead Valley Community College is Montana’s
largest two-year public college. The main campus in Kalispell is just a 15-minute drive south of Whitefish, and offers top-quality academic programs taught by some of the nation’s brightest faculty. FVCC’s state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies provide students with an outstanding foundation for their first two years of college, preparing them for a successful and seamless transfer to colleges and universities in Montana and beyond. FVCC also offers Associate of Applied Science degrees and certificates in over 50 career and technical fields, preparing students to launch rewarding careers immediately following graduation. The college is proud of its small classroom environment; the average student-to-faculty ratio of 17-to-1 gives students a chance to really get to know their instructors, and receive the personalized attention they need to succeed. A variety of online and distance learning options are available to students who need to study at home or after “traditional” school hours; and select undergraduate and graduate degrees can be earned at FVCC through the school’s partnerships with the University of Montana and other colleges and universities. FVCC works closely with local workforce and economic development agencies to offer training programs to meet the specific needs of 21st century employers … from construction skills to healthcare, and computer software to firefighter training.

The Chamber’s Whitefish 2020 Plan focuses on three separate-butequal strategies for enhancing the Whitefish economy: • Helping existing businesses get the help they need to survive, grow and thrive; • Attracting new companies to Whitefish that will complement the existing business community, and capitalize on the state-of-theart technological infrastructure that already exists in Whitefish; • Identify and implement programs, projects and events that enhance the Whitefish visitor experience, and focus on growing tourism in the shoulder and winter seasons. In addition, the Chamber promotes our community on a local, regional, statewide and global basis, in an effort to:
30 Whitefish Chamber of Commerce Community Guide & Member Directory - 2013
• Attract
new business and investment to Whitefish; • Create new, high-paying jobs through business relocation, new business start-ups and the expansion of existing companies; • Promote the Whitefish area’s assets to prospective employers, investors and residents; and • Improve our community by encouraging planned economic development, strong civic leadership, better education and increased cultural and recreational opportunities. At its annual Retreat & Planning Conference held in November, the Board redoubled its commitment to working collaboratively with a host of different groups and agencies who share common interests and constituents, including: the Whitefish City Council, Montana West Economic Development, Whitefish Convention & Visitors Bureau, Flathead County Economic Development Authority, Big Mountain Commercial Association, Whitefish Winter Carnival, Glacier
“Collaboration is the key to success,” Chamber Executive Director Kevin Gartland said. “If the goal is to attract more – and cheaper – commercial air service to the Flathead, it’s going to take every one of those organizations working together to do it, and then some. “If we’re talking about providing intown Trolley service next summer,” he added, “to take the heat off downtown parking and get folks out of their cars, then its a whole different group of folks we need to be working with.” Both of those initiatives are moving forward at a rapid pace, as are efforts to work collaboratively with city officials to address downtown parking, bandshell development and pursuit of a conference/ convention center.

Trustee Members lend their concern, expertise and resources to issues which confront our community, our region, our state and nation, to ensure a solid future for free enterprise and our citizens. Their commitment to Whitefish and to the Chamber is the foundation for our continued prosperity. Trustees have a standing invitation to attend Board of Directors’ meetings; they meet privately each year with the Chamber’s Executive Director and Chairman of the Board to discuss issues of concern to their company and the community; and they may designate representatives to serve on the Chamber’s major committees and task forces. Trustee members enjoy a special section on the Chamber’s website – including Trustee photos and bios – as well as direct links to their company’s web homepage and social media pages.
