Whitefish is a location which has four clear-cut seasons, and yet, interestingly enough, there are really only two seasons in the area.  What is meant by this is that there are four different seasons in terms of temperature but there are really only two seasons in terms of types of travelers to the area.  There are summer travelers who come during the warmer months of the year to take advantage of the slow-paced life offered in the town and the hiking and camping activities available in the mountains.  Then there are the winter travelers who come to the area to enjoy the ski season.  As a result, summer visitors tend to be concentrated in the town itself and winter visitors are concentrated in the mountain resorts.  Travelers looking to head to Whitefish on a budget should choose the opposite location (town in winter and resorts in summer) to get the best prices on accommodations.

In terms of temperature, the average summer temperature is in the eighties which is generally considered comfortable by most travelers.   The winter temperature is cold enough for there to be over three hundred inches of snowfall on the mountains each year, but not so cold that skiing is ever uncomfortable.   The average temperature during the coldest months is usually right around twenty degrees.   For updated weather information and forecasts for the area, visit http://www.wunderground.com/US/MT/Whi... .
