Whitefish, MT is what Far and Wide consider the coolest small town in Montana. Their reasoning is that Whitefish gives you great skiing in the winter on Big Mountain or Whitefish Mountain Resort as it is now known. It has been ranked in the top 10 of Ski Mag's best places to ski in the west.

Then you have Whitefish Lake for water skiing, fishing or just swimming in the summer. It has become a popular tourist destination no matter the season. If those are not what you are into there is great hiking along with biking surrounding the area too.
