Why do business in the Flathead?Snowboard Whitefish Mountain Resort

A survey of local business owners would lead you to the conclusion that one excellent reason to locate your business here is to take full advantage of all the outstanding recreational opportunities outside your front door.

Employers and employees agree on the work-hard, play-hard philosopy that includes hunting, fishing, boating, skiing, snowmobiling (or snowcatting as the locals call it) after work and on the weekends.   Many take full advantage of biking, hiking, and water recreation offered by Glacier National Park, four national wilderness areas, two national  forests, four state parks and countless county and city parks.  All of this available for free on nearly free to Montana residents. 

The fabulous scenery and recreation create a unique recruiting opportunity for companies.

Water skiing on a crystal clear lake literally on the edge of town…
    Long summer evenings of hiking, biking, fishing or floating down the river…
         Swooshing through the powder of a  world class ski resort just minutes from the office…

Imagine the quality of employees you could attract when these amenities are part of your signing bonus and benefit package.

Taking advantage of our recreational opportunities requires little planning and no long commutes, leaving you more time for the things in your life that really matter.

If you could be anywhere, why not be here?
