How to Enjoy Your Whitefish Vacation When Mother Nature Has Other Plans

Whitefish is surrounded by beautiful outdoor landscapes ready to be explored. At most times of the year, our weather is very pleasant! But every so often, Mother Nature has other plans. Whether due to rain, wildfire, smoke, or other extreme weather conditions, sometimes you need to head indoors. Lucky for you, Whitefish is full of fun alternative activities when outdoor activities are postponed.

Indoor Fitness
There are lots of indoor options if you still want to get your workout in.

• Delia Pilates has private and group classes for Pilates lovers and mindful movers.
• The Wave Aquatic and Fitness Center has multiple pools, racquetball courts, gymnasium, exercise equipment, dance studio, yoga studio and more.
• There are daily yoga classes at Shanti Yoga Studio.
• Practice that triple axel at Stumptown Ice Den, Montana's only year-round indoor public skating rink.

Sample some Local Brews, Wine and Spirits
Whitefish has some great local producers of craft beer and spirits.

• Spotted Bear Spirits is a community-minded craft distillery producing vodka, house-made liqueurs, agave spirits and cellos. Stop by to sample a craft cocktail.
