Weekend PICKS: Thursday, January 16th thru Sunday, January 19th
Bundle up, buttercup! – it’s cold outside – but the snow is perfect! and there’s no shortage of great stuff to do where it’s warm inside.…it’s all here for Western Montana with The Missoula Underground’s Weekend PICKS!
ALL the local ski resorts are open, with fresh snow the past several days – it’s prime. All are grooming and adding open lifts. Lolo Pass Visitors Center and Chief Joseph are fluffy and groomed, and several areas in the Flathead have excellent trails ready for XC skiing. Rattlesnake and Pattee are being freshly groomed in the canyons for classic XC. MTB Missoula has added winter grooming to the trails at Marshall Mountain Park for fat bikes, courtesy of Fat Bike Missoula – cool development! Pull up and bookmark The MUG’s Western Montana Snow Conditions – all in one place to make your plans.
No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Lots of activities and events are happening not only around Missoula, but all the way up the Flathead and the Bitterroot valleys, east to Phillipsburg and Anaconda, and out west past Alberton. If you’re headed up to Whitefish and Glacier, there are some outstanding pit stops to make along the way.
Get out & enjoy our locally-owned bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages – they need your business! Try a new seasonal local brew! Support our local artists and vendors at the area seasonal markets. Take the family for a brisk outdoor hike. Get out for some prime early season skiing. Catch a classic movie screening or a stand-up comedy night. Stretch that big brain at one of the local trivia nights. Sing your favorite karaoke song, or catch a live music show. Enjoy safely and responsibly.

“A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything – turn, turn, turn
There is a season – turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven”
– The Byrds, “Turn, Turn, Turn”
