Powder Days!
In Montana, frosty temps and falling snow usher in an action-packed season of wintery fun and adventure. You can ski or snowboard at one of the areas 2 ski resorts. Not a downhill skier? No problem! With snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and more, there's something for everyone who wants to play in the snow. The snow can arrive as early as October and can linger through May. Montana offers one of the longest winter season in the lower 48 states to skate, schuss, glide and soar.

Glacier Ridge Resort provides snow shoes and poles in various sizes for adults and children. We also have maps, books and trail suggestions available for our guests.
Travelers should bring sturdy winter boots and dress in layers for a variety of winter conditions.

Traveling by train? Please note: West Glacier Train station is located at the bottom of the mountain from the property. This working railroad line runs parallel to Highway 2 in West Glacier. A slight rumbling can be felt in the house when a train passes by. The trains do not blow a horn when they pass through the area since West Glacier does not have an intersecting road with the trains. The history of Glacier is based on these rail lines and is an interictal part of the location.

Ring Security camera with motion lights is located on the porch next to the front door.

Timed entry vehicle reservations are required for entrance at some GNP Entrances.

Host profile image
My family has been blessed to live in Columbia Falls, Montana since 2008. It has been an amazing place to raise a family of five. We cannot think of a better place enjoy the outdoors. If we are not rafting the rivers and paddle boarding the lakes you will find us whipping up some special cuisine in our kitchen.

We enjoy offering a variety of vacation rentals to travelers whether they want to be off the grid in Polebridge , at the West Glacier Entrance or a home on Flathead River.

In 2017 we added River View Retreat riverfront property in Columbia Falls, MT (#959175) for customers who want to accommodate up to 8 guests.
