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.

The Salish people occupied passenger train from what is now West Glacier in 1891, and initially followed a route through territory in Washington, Idaho and arrived at the Columbia Falls and Kalispell, then west western Montana, and shared hunting and gathering grounds with the Kootenai and Whitefish Depot through Idaho and Washington to the on October 4, Pacific Ocean.

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.

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 were 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.

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 decades, 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!

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.

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 “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 snowshoes, 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, 8 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

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 Whitefish Trail currently offers over 26 miles of natural surface trail accessed by seven trail heads.

These trails are located in forested, rural environments popular for mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding and walking and are appropriate for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and bikers and runners of all abilities.

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 COMMUNITY GUIDE

Whitefish Mountain Resort and hike the Danny 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.

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 is 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, well-bunkered (and spacious) bent grass 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! The Class II-IV rapids

on the Flathead – with names like “Bonecrusher” and “Jaws” – are more than enough to satisfy the whitewater purist, but there is also a menu of “gentler” options designed with families in mind.

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.

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.

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.

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 west slope 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 here 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.

10 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

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, curling enthusiasts 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 trip to Gaynor’s Ranch or the Bar W Guest Ranch for a horse-drawn sleigh ride and dinner.

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.

The Whitefish Theatre Company and the Alpine Theatre Project present world-class theatre, drama, comedy and music, showcasing seasoned professionals with major league credits – many of them direct from Broadway! And they do it in two state-of-theart downtown theaters – the O’Shaughnessy Center and the Whitefish Performing Arts.

shops featuring the works of guest artists … and offering free food and drink to arts aficionados.

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 early August.

Live music abounds in Whitefish.

From the “open mic” nights at our watering holes to the best “world music” at the O’Shaughnessy Center to the top-notch rock, country, jazz and jam-bands that help keep the blood flowing in January … there’s never a shortage of talented live entertainment in Whitefish!

ake a world-class ski hill, spectacular scenic beauty, a thriving “Old West” downtown core and a bit of worldly culture … mix them all together and what do you get? Whitefish, Montana!

Dollar-for-dollar and pound-for-pound, Whitefish has the best dining and nightlife of any mountain town in the West. With well over 50 different restaurants, bars and clubs serving cuisine from around the globe, you’re sure to find something to your liking in Whitefish.

Advance reservations are strongly advised for many Whitefish restaurants, especially during the summer months and on ski season weekends and holidays.

For more information, see the Restaurant Guide on Pages 18-19, or visit the Chamber of Commerce website at www.whitefishchamber.org.

Your array of eating opportunities run the gamut from so-called “secret” breakfast spots to casual pizza joints; from upscale continental and Cajun cuisine to the Big Sky’s best bar food; from elegant lakeside dining to down-home Montana diners.

Once the dinner hour is done, the bars and nightclubs of downtown Whitefish take on a life all their own. Live bands and DJs keep the dance floors packed at a halfdozen downtown watering holes – including several with outdoor, rooftop and patio bars.

WHITEFISH WINTER CARNIVAL - PHOTO BY BILL MILNER

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 nearlegendary proportions, most notably the “granddaddy of ‘em all,” Winter Carnival.

Held the first weekend in February for the last five decades, Whitefish Winter Carnival was named one of the Top 10 Winter Carnivals in the World last year

by National Geographic Traveler magazine. Carnival weekend is the culmination of a month of tonguein-cheek pageantry and Whitefish-style frivolity, all culminating in a full weekend of events including the raucous Grand Parade and the “Penguin Plunge” into Whitefish Lake on Saturday afternoon.

20 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

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.

Every March, stars from the National Football League rub elbows with local kids (and their parents) at the Whitefish Winter Classic, a weekend of events that raise money to assist Montana families with pediatric medical costs not covered by insurance. Events include a kick-off party with the NFL stars; a snowmobile poker run; a gala dinner and live auction; and a host of kidand family-oriented activities.

The summer event season in Whitefish kicks-off in mid-June with the 3rd Annual Whitefish Woody Weekend, a three-day celebration of classic American wooden boats hosted by The Lodge at Whitefish Lake.

Dozens of vintage hardwood cruisers will be on display at the Lodge Marina; a boat parade around Whitefish Lake is planned for Saturday evening, and the craft (and their captains) can be seen buzzing across the

lake at full tilt on Sunday, during the Woody Weekend Poker Run. The only public fireworks display between Flathead Lake and the Canadian border goes off at dusk over Whitefish Lake on the Fourth of July, which in northwestern Montana means 10:30 p.m. or so!

Crowds gather at Whitefish City Beach, at the new Great Northern Veterans Peace Park – and on the water – to watch the show ... so grab a spot early!

Held the first weekend in July in Whitefish Depot Park, the threeday Whitefish Arts Festival features the work of more than 100 regional artists and craftsmen, as well as a variety of food vendors and entertainment.

Festival Amadeus – Montana’s only week long classical music festival returns to Whitefish in August for its seventh season.

Glacier Symphony & Chorale Music Director John Zoltek leads the Festival Amadeus Orchestra in an free opening night outdoor concert, followed by a series of indoor performances at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center.

and caterers go all-out to impress upwards of 600 attendees, who also sip on locally-produced wine, beer and whiskies.

Later in September, a pair of second-year events – the Whitefish Summer Games and “Fish the Fish” – return by popular demand. The Summer Games features scores of different athletic – and not-soathletic – competitions and tournaments, from soccer, softball and basketball to darts, poker and Worm Racing. No, really! Fish the Fish is a bit more serious … a fly fishing expo (and other great events) that raise money benefit for “Sisters on the Fly,” a program that uses fly fishing “therapy” to support breast cancer survivors.

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.

EDUCATION

ARTIST RENDERING OF FUTURE WHITEFISH HIGH SCHOOL COURTESY OF STEEPLECHASE DEVELOPMENT

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 Christian Academy educates children in grades PreK through 8.

A classical Christian School, WCA achieves academic excellence in a fun, safe environment.

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.

24 whitefishchamber.org - (406) 862-3501

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

“FVCC works closely with local workforce and economic development agencies to offer training programs to meet the specific needs of 21st century employers …” 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 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, recently 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 to firefighter training.

Trustees target economic development & government affairs The Whitefish Chamber’s Trustee Program brings together the area’s top business and civic leaders in an effort to develop a shared vision for the future of Whitefish, and to prepare their companies – and our community – for the 21st Century. The Trustees spearhead the Chamber’s governmental affairs and economic development efforts, tackling the “big picture” issues that affect today’s business environment.

Trustees meet monthly to oversee implementation of the Chamber’s Whitefish 2020 Plan. First adopted in 2010, the plan serves as the Chamber’s economic development blueprint for the next 5-7 years, identifying programs, projects and initiatives that will improve – and diversify – our town’s economy. Many of the goals set forth in the original Whitefish 2020 Plan have come to fruition, others are in progress, and several new projects were added to the following an update of the plan last year.

The Trustees have been the driving force behind a number of major economic development efforts, including the formation of Glacier AERO – a new non-profit organization dedicated to expanding commercial air service to the Flathead. AERO’s Board of Directors launched a major fundraising effort in January, and will work closely with airport and airline officials to capitalize on opportunities to expand and enhance air service to Glacier Park International Airport.

Other projects spearheaded or supported by the Trustees include: • Development of the Chamber’s new website; • Creation of a Business Development Center at the Chamber offices; • Publication of the annual Whitefish Guide -- the city’s primary business attraction & relocation tool; • Removal of the abandoned “drive-thru” building from Whitefish Depot Park; • Creation of the Great Northwest Oktoberfest, a two-week event designed to help spur Fall shoulder season visitation; • Obtained funding for a convention/conference center feasibility study.

Paul Johannsen, National Parks Realty Jason Spring, North Valley Hospital Dan Graves, Whitefish Mountain Resort Jim Kenyon, Whitefish Credit Union The update to the Whitefish 2020 Plan began last October with a public workshop, and was finalized by the Chamber’s Board and Trustees in November. Expanded commercial air service, development of a mid-sized meeting/conference center, development at the old North Valley Hospital and Idaho Timber sites, strategies to boost shoulder and winter season visitation, and support for new and existing businesses will continue to be top priorities for the Chamber – and its Trustees – in 2014.

New priorities for the group this year include the initiation of a comprehensive Government Affairs Program for the Chamber, and developing strategies for dealing with a growing shortage of housing for employees in the tourism and related service industries.

Trustee members lend their concern, expertise and resources to help address the issues which confront our city, county and state, thereby ensuring a solid future for Whitefish and the region. Their commitment to Whitefish and to the Chamber is the foundation for our continued prosperity.
