Weekend PICKS: Thursday, March 6th thru Sunday, March 9th
March is warming up! Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend – spring forward…Take a minute to pick the choices for your Western Montana fun list – all right here with The Missoula Underground’s Weekend PICKS!
It’ll be First Friday in Downtown Missoula (and Hamilton, too) with many stores and businesses open featuring local artists and music, and complimentary snacks and beverages.
While the valleys have been warm, the snow’s still excellent up high. All the local ski resorts are open, with more fresh recent snow – plenty of powder! All are grooming and every place’s lifts are fully open. Get it while it’s still good. Lolo Pass Visitors Center and Chief Joseph are fluffy and recently-groomed, and several areas in the Flathead have excellent trails for XC skiing. MTB Missoula has been winter-grooming trails at Marshall Mountain Park for fat bikes, courtesy of Fat Bike Missoula, but the warmer weather has softened up the snow (go early in the day). Pull up and bookmark The MUG’s Western Montana Snow Conditions – all in one place to double-check your destinations to make your plans.
We have around 50 live music events listed for the weekend – plan your indoor sports accordingly.
No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Lots of winter 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 winter 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 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.
