Summer might be tourist season here in Montana, but those who call the Treasure State home year-round know that the off-season is actually a fantastic time to travel locally. And if you ski — or you just love being surrounded by snow — we highly recommend heading to Whitefish and spending a weekend at the Snow Bear Chalets. This small treehouse village is both unique and inviting.

Snow Bear Chalets is a collection of three luxury treehouses as well as seven brand new penthouse chalets.

The treehouses are all ski-in / ski-out, meaning you can ski to Chair 3 from any of them and hit the slopes in under a minute.
