AF64ACC7-41E7-4FBC-A425-3D44348FEBA3

True hyggelig (coziness) takes place in winter, making Montana one of the best places to plan a winter vacation.  You can always find (or build) a cozy fire and snuggle up with a warm blanket wearing your most comfy clothes.  Add a riveting novel, a candle and some soft music and you’ve discovered the ultimate in hygge.

Skiing:

Among the many activities to participate in during your Montana winter vacation, skiing often ranks near the top.

  • Downhill skiing – this also includes telemark skiing, skinning, snowboarding and more.  Some great places to ski in Montana are
    1. Showdown (south of Great Falls, Montana)
    2. Moonlight Basin
    3. Bridger Bowl (outside of Bozeman, Montana)
    4. Big Sky (near Big Sky, Montana)
  • Cross-country skiing
  • Sledding
  • Snowshoeing

Get your Montana outdoor winter gear:

  • Snowpants that will keep you dry and warm
  • Waterproof Insulated Jacket
  • Fingerless Gloves
  • Warm Mittens
  • Llama Fiber Hat
  • Wool Scarf
  • Silk Scarf

Montana also has a lot of winter indoor options:

  • galleries
  • theatre
  • tea shops
  • restaurants

Blue jeans are standard wear for most every occasion.  What you wear with them depends on who you are.  Anything from lumberjack shirts to Patagonia, from turtlenecks to wool sweaters.  Be sure to check the forecast to see if you will need long underwear.  Merino Wool is my favorite. It’s not scratchy like other wool and it holds the heat in while wicking the moisture out.  Toasty.
