Whitefish Montana Ski Resort became increasingly popular over the past few years. In fact, Fortune Builders placed Whitefish, MT as the #1 Ski Town (over Vail, CO and Jackson Hole, WY) to buy and hold Investment Real Estate. The Resort also unveiled their new 6-seater chair lift for the 2022-2023 ski season. With shorter lines, better prices, and competitive ski-slopes you will want to return every year!
