Whitefish Ski Heritage Center presents 'Friedl'

The Ski Heritage Center Museum will host a special presentation of the new, award-winning documentary film "Friedl" at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center on Monday, Nov. 16. The film chronicles the extraordinary life of skiing pioneer Friedl Pfeifer, from his roots in Austria, to the front lines of World War II and his post-war role as a founding father of the modern American ski industry. After rising to become one of Europe’s top ski racers in his native Austria, Pfeifer fled to the United States to escape conscription into the Nazi military. Following the outbreak of WWII, he joined the U.S. Army’s famed 10th Mountain Division, training American troops in mountain warfare and skiing techniques at Camp Hale, Colorado. Deployed to the Italian front, Pfeifer's military service ended dramatically when he was nearly killed in battle—just a mountain range away from his homeland. Following his recovery, Pfeifer embarked on a career that transformed American skiing. His legendary contributions include: Co-Founding Aspen: Formed the Aspen Ski Corporation, co-founded the resort, and established the iconic Aspen Ski School. Creating Buttermilk: Founded Buttermilk Mountain as a family-friendly destination. National & International Leadership: Served as head coach for the U.S. Ski Team at both

Dog missing nearly three months found healthy

On Oct. 31, Rogue, the dog who has been on the run for 84 days was captured in a humane trap on Braig Road. The four-year-old collie mix had been on her own since being adopted from the Flathead County Animal Shelter on Aug. 8 and bolting from her newly adopted person's vehicle. Several reported sightings of the dog allowed searchers to walk nearby areas and to send drones up with hope of pinpointing her location. Casey Corbett is fostering Rogue's sister, Anna, and spent hours walking and looking, as part of a team on the ground who did not give up hope. Anna was present on Saturday morning when Rogue was collected from the trap and brought to Flathead Pet Emergency to be examined. She was found to be in relatively good condition. The report said she, surprisingly, had no injuries or broken teeth and was even at a healthy weight, despite having spent nearly three months on the run. Anna gives her sister, Rogue, a sniff after she'd been missing for nearly three months. (Photo provided)

In the Swan Valley, a Small Nonprofit Is Keeping Bears Out of Trouble

A family moves to the Swan Valley to live their dream. A few acres where they can have chickens, a garden, and maybe a few fruit trees. They hang bird feeders on the deck so they can watch the birds and are enchanted by an almost nightly sighting of a doe and her twin fawns. Life is so peaceful. But then one night they are awakened by a terrible racket in the coop as the stillness of night explodes with the sounds of chickens squawking and the family dog barking. They discover that their wildlife neighbors also include hungry bears.

Stillwater River: Small Flies, Foggy Mornings, and a Race Against the Rain

Conditions on the Stillwater near Absarokee are optimal for early November, with low, clear water and good wading access. The best nymphing occurs from 7-11 AM, using small Baetis and midge patterns. As rain approaches midday, switch to dry flies and later to streamers for aggressive browns. Adapt strategies as conditions change.

Reported Opinion: High school bass fishing

My alarm went off at 4 a.m. on October 4, 2026, and I ate a breakfast sandwich in the dark. We made the hour and a half drive to Echo Lake near Big Fork. The sky was clear and cold with just a little wind. Being able to watch the early morning sunrise and know I am about to go fishing is one of my favorite parts of the sport I’ve been competing in for the past four years.

Bears stock up for winter in feeding frenzy

The cold winds of the lake have blown the orange and yellow leaves around Polson Bay, and with the fall breeze come two hungry bears sniffing out their next meal. These two bears, who visited Polson earlier this fall, are just like the others roaming around, just looking for a good snack or a nap on the dock. Bears in town this time of year are a sign of Hyperphagia — a time when bears stuff as much food as they can into their fat reserves before hibernation. Once those summer berries are eaten, they’re down the mountain and into the valley. Following recent bear sightings in Polson, wildlife officials are reminding residents to secure existing attractants and informing them about new ones. According to Payton Adams, a wildlife biologist at the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Wildlife Management Program, bears can come down early if the summer berry crop isn’t as good and start feasting on attractants such as fruit trees, gardens and garbage earlier in the summer. “We start seeing them again in the valley around August into September when fruit trees are becoming ripe. That’s around the time hyperphagia starts,” Adams said. “Then it goes until the snow

Glacier National Park has trails that draw crowds by the thousands. Siyeh Pass is not one of them. The route climbs from the Going-to-the-Sun Road to a wind-swept saddle at roughly 8,000 feet, and along the way you pass through deep forest, wildflower meadows, and rocky slopes with glaciers clinging to the peaks above.

New thrift store plans Halloween grand opening

Columbia Falls has a new thrift store on the corner of Nucleus Avenue and Highway 2. How Bizarre Thrift takes up most of the bottom floor of the Gateway Building, a venture by partners Mikayla Gildart and Micah Sperry. “We like to re-purpose and re-utilize,” the couple said of its store of eclectic finds, which include everything from clothing fare for young and old to household goods and items. They even have an older model TV with a working VCR. They also have a collection of porcelain dolls. The couple scours estate sales, storage units and the like looking for items. They also take donations. All told, the store is about 1,200 square feet and includes a room full of house plants. They also sell artwork and custom-made clothing from local artists and craftsmen and women. Everything is attractively priced, with many items $5 or less. The store name comes from finding an item in a thrift store and thinking, “How Bizarre,” Gildart said. The store opened Oct. 16 will have its grand opening on Halloween. People probably recognize Gildart and Sperry. Gildart previously cleaned houses and Sperry is the North Fork deliveryman for UPS, a job he’s been doing
