PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

Back in the 1940s, Whitefish locals finally tired of hiking up the hillside just to ski back down.

So they called Karl Schenck’s dad, who sold ski lifts.

“He got so excited about the idea,” Schenck said, “that he just joined up on the spot.”

The Schencks are now something of a fixture in town, a founding family of what is today Big Mountain ski resort http://www.bigmtn.com/ .

(But now) “They don’t want us around anymore,” Schenck said. “People feel betrayed. They’re angry. Apparently, everything the Mountain’s doing to us is legal – it’s just not very nice.”
