Of course, Whitefish.  Nestled near Big Mountain, Whitefish has a wonderful, spellbinding appeal that harkens to Christmas cards, cocoa and general Christmas cheer.

West Yellowstone

Just not having it be another town on that side of the Mountains fills me with holly-jolly happiness.  The article says West Yellowstone has an "idyllic winter".  Ok, I'll go along with that, as long as we have 4-wheel drive.  However, being surrounded by 3 National Forests and the entrance to Yellowstone National Park, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful place to get snowed-in for the holidays.

Deadwood, South Dakota

Located in the gorgeous Black Hills of South Dakota, Deadwood is also a couple miles away from Terry Peak Ski Resort.  This cozy mountain town would make a great holiday tradition. Honestly, if it was good enough for Wild Bill, I'd give Deadwood a try, just for the history!

McCall, Idaho

Nestled with near by Brundage Mountain with all kinds of skiing, McCall sees around 130 inches of snow a year and features lots of cross-country skiing as well and a festival in January.  You're sure to have a white Christmas here.
