Snow Bear Chalets

03/22/2026

Woohooo! ⁠We're thrilled to announce that the Ponderosa Treehouse at Snow Bear Chalets has been nominated for TZR's Best Treehouse Stays of 2026 contest, which is now live and accepting votes. bit.ly/4s7bodH
⁠
Snow Bear Chalets is located slope side at Whitefish Mountain Resort, in Whitefish, Montana. From a sketch on a bar napkin in 2017, many laughed at me for thinking I could build the World's 1st ski-in/ski-out treehouses. Our little treehouse went on to make the cover of TIME Magazine, recognized as one of the 100 Greatest Places in the World! It's famous, having been featured in more than 400 magazines and news publications globally.

We'd love to share the magic of Snow Bear with others. Your vote will help us do just that! You can share your love by voting now until Friday, April 17th.

Designed and built to provide high-end luxury, Snow Bear is known for spoiling our guests. From whimsical swoopy roofs to the soaring turret with a ceiling covered with 600 fiber optic twinkle lights in the form of constellations, from your own private hot tub 35' in the air, to literally being 1' from the slope, you'll quickly fall in love with the Ponderosa Treehouse at Snow Bear Chalets. Guests of all ages love us. In the winter you're ON the slope. Summer is magical, with breathtaking views and hiking right from your door and Glacier National Park just 30 mi away. Book your summer visit now! 888-868-2327.

Please shower us with extra love by voting each day and by sharing this with your friends too! Vote for Snow Bear Chalets

What could be better than spending New Year's Eve slopeside on Whitefish Mountain!!! Due to a guest unexpectedly getting pregnant (and canceling their New Year's reservation), our premier treehouse- PONDEROSA, located directly ON the slope, is now available 12/29/24-1/6/25. Choose any 4-nights (minimum) and we'll help you create an amazing celebration for you and your family.

Past guests tell us that the private hot tub on the deck of Ponderosa is the very best place to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve!

Please reach out to us at 888-8MT-BEAR with any questions. We look forward to helping one lucky family create magical memories at the best place to stay on the mountain! There's a reason that TIME Magazine recognized our Ponderosa Treehouse as one of the 100 Greatest Places in the World!

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the holiday weekend on Big Mountain!

Events 🎆
We’re hosting two events this weekend, both on 2/17. First up is the USASA Rail Jam/Slopestyle and later that evening is our President’s weekend Torchlight parade and Fireworks.

Getting here 🚎
With beautiful weather, events, and an extra day off work, we’re expecting Big Mountain Road to see increased demand. We recommend taking the S.N.O.W. Bus up from town or arriving early to spread out demand on the road and make things easier on our hard-working parking staff.

Tickets 🎟️
We are also expecting increased demand at our ticket counters and point of sale locations. You can help mitigate this by stopping by during non-peak hours and picking up tickets in advance.

For more information on all of the above and more, click the link in our bio!
