Whitefish, Montana is a hip mountain town where everyone can kick back

At around noon — after the south-facing, sun-drenched slopes had taken a few too many direct rays — the easy-to-ski quasi-corn snow of the mid-morning started turning into slush. One by one, the layers were peeled off. By two o’clock, we were lathered in sunscreen and skiing in T-shirts. Given the forecast high of 16 C, this was not all that surprising. And, this being Whitefish — one of the more laid-back mountain towns in the west — skiing alongside long-haired, freaky people in cut-off jeans, pyjamas and bikinis was also completely expected.
