Advection fog, common to mountain valleys, results from warm, wet air flowing over cold ground. The cool surface causes the moist air temperature to drop and reach its dew or condensation point forming fog.

Since moisture-laden air is forced up to high elevations at the Continental Divide and cools, the annual precipitation average jumps to 100 inches (2.5 m) or more in isolated mountain cirques. Snowfall settles to around a 16-foot (4.9 m) average snowpack.

The mountains (and ski areas) get around 300+ inches of snow each year, while the Flathead Valley gets about 55 inches.

What is a glacier? A glacier is an accumulation of ice and snow that slowly flows over land. At higher elevations, more snow typically falls than melts, adding to its mass. Eventually, the surplus of built-up ice begins to flow downhill.

A mountain town rich in culture, Kalispell knows how to winter. With hundreds of inches of snow that cover our mountain ranges to the magic that comes from strolling through downtown, winter in Montana has abundant things to do and places to explore.
