Turns out, polar opposites come together in polar conditions. In West Yellowstone, cross-country skiers peacefully glide along the Riverside Ski Trail while snowmobilers dive into the area's annual 13 feet of snowfall. Here, diehard motorheads and spandex fanatics unite—over Happy Hour Bar brews, lunches at Kiwi' Takeaway, and a mutual love for Yellowstone National Park's winter splendor.
Try it all: nab ski rentals and a latte at local outdoor/rental/coffee shop Freeheel & Wheel, or hit up Yellowstone Vacations to rent a snowmobile, join a guided ride into the Park, or tour Yellowstone via cozy snowcoach. Back in town, refuel with homemade mac n' cheese and a brew at Wild West Pizzeria. Then, tuck in at the off-the-beaten-path Hebgen Lake Mountain Inn to dream of purring engines, rythmic pole plants, and frosty bison sightings.

EinosThis is a great make your own steak! You order what type of steak you want and cook it to your liking adding what ever you want to it. It was so good!
Freeheel And WheelThe ladies that run this shop have the right idea: an outdoor store that doubles as a coffeeshop that triples as an outdoor rental place. When we realized we had forgotten my daughter's cross country boots, we went back ...
Hebgen Lake Mountain InnRight across the street from the Happy Hour Bar is West Yellowstone’s best kept secret—the Hebgen Lake Mountain Inn. It’s called an Inn but the rooms are really condos, complete with a fully stocked kitchen (yeah crockpot ...
Kiwi' TakeawayAlison never fails to put a smile on my face; she’s sassy, engaging, has a larger-than-life personality and makes killer jalepeno sauce. Everything at the Takeaway is incredible, but I recommend the burger with pickled beets (I know, I ...

Riverside Ski TrailThe ski trail/loop is well groomed and has a good combination of forested areas as well as wide open spaces - great on a sunny day! And what's better - no matter which loop you take, it will lead you ...
Wild West PizzaThe homemade mac n’ cheese is to die for. I’m pretty much drooling just thinking about it. Doesn’t hurt that sometimes it comes accompanied by live music here!
