But Whitefish is the part of Montana with the fewest Montanans.

Mrs. addiction and I were just in the mountains (in Colorado) for a long weekend. Love mornings at elevation...

I’ve heard good things about Montana.  Solid weather all year long??

I am sure the great outdoors and the scenery also don’t hurt.

By weather you mean, 70's in the summer, and -F in the winter?

Just a bit on the nippy side in January, though. I’m sorry you won’t be feeling the heat those of us slightly to your west will be getting. I should be great. /s

Colorado, I would like to visit the colorado rockies one of these years, they are much taller than the mountains up here.

A little -25 F won’t hurt you as long as you limit exposure to 15 seconds or less.

The summers have a way of making you forget those -15 F mornings, and those ridiculously short daylight days in December and January.

You definitely should! I’ve hiked a 14er in the past (Mount Belford) , and we were fortunate to drive through Independence Pass this trip (it had just opened).

That car tends to stay in the garage at such temperatures.

I’d describe that weather as “slightly chilly, still need a jacket”.

It varies more at home at least. It doesnt get this warm in the “winter” in the valley.

But I prefer it this way, the less variability the better. It’s just almost always guaranteed to be acceptable out. Winter time you worry a little bit about rain but never cold. Summer time is invariably hot inland. I guess amount of daylight is really the only surfire way to tell. When the sun sets before 5pm versus after 8pm, I tend to notice that.

December-March it’s a crap shoot, could be okay, could be a blizzard and icy roads.
