    I fly out of Kalispell all the time; inexpensive parking, great vehicle service, and always stay another day or two upon return. You clear the border and you're inside the USA, so everything is easy. I walked from the airport and couldn't step out onto the highway without people stopping and asking if I wanted a ride into town (it's six miles). That's NW Montana hospitality.

    Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Whitefish. What an incredible place to have spent my formative years, although it has changed dramatically since the late 60’s & early 70’s. Still have family there and I still go back to visit for a week or two most summers. 😃

      No, Californians and Hollywood types are in the expensive third homes they own on the lake, but they're not there often. But this area IS expensive and always has been: you either own a clear title ranch five generations deep OR a govt. well paid job, or you're on your own. Small population means service businesses are established and have the contracts. Even if you once lived in this area, it would be tough to come back w/o accumulated capital AND a career or Red Seal Trade.

    The real estate prices he quoted are off a bit. It is 2 years later, but the median sold home price is $493k, the median listing price is $796k. My brother's house doubled in price in about 2 years. My wife and I were looking at land way out of town (I am from there) about 4 years ago. It was 20 acres for 80k. there were 7 lots available. It was too remote for us because we know what the winter is like....lol......someone from California offered $150,000 cash without ever having seen the property. Of course it was accepted. The other listings were removed a day or two later. They went back up a week later for $140k each. All I have to say is that the tweekers will steal your generator out there if you are not home to protect it, and the roads are not plowed in the winter. It is also a high fire risk area and the insurance companies started pulling out of that area about 2 years ago. Good luck......lol

    What a charming town! And I can understand you all not wanting Californians moving there. I’m a born and raised Californian. (Senior). Don’t worry, I’m not moving that way 😉But housing here is so incredibly expensive that very very few can afford to buy. An 1100 sq ft home built in the 1960’s is about a million! Here’s a thought, tho, most “Californians weren’t born here, but came here from all over the country and where I live, all over the world. 🤷‍♀️

      People are going to move where they're going to move. Every 100 years or so a kind of migration happens. And these people are the ones whos ancestors pushed the natives out, bloody murder and genocide and complain when tax paying people move there who probably do more for the planet than they do.

    What was not mentioned is #1 that Whitefish Montana and especially the ski hill (Big Mt) is also the poorest snow quality in the state. Layers upon layers of different types of snow. Making it very hard to ski. #2 your wait time at all restaurants in the summer is usually a two hr wait. Doesn't matter which restaurant. #3 Us locals do enjoy you folks spending your tourist dollars here but make sure you go home. Don't move here. You'll truly hate it. The ignorance of those in California have already ruined our little town. It's ok!! We carry guns and they hate guns. Some have already moved from the area. They didn't realize it SNOWED here.
