If you’ve spent even one full year in Montana, you know it looks incredible when it’s covered in snow. That being said, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to winter weather. And believe it or not, last winter, many Treasure State cities saw record-breaking snowfall.

First, Havre had its snowiest winter on record since records started being kept in 1880.

Last winter wreaked havoc on Havre’s school schedules, travel schedules, and local businesses.

Billings also broke its snowfall record last year.

The winter of 2013-2014 previously held that record (with 103 inches), but last winter topped it.

Even Bozeman decided to try to break its record last winter.

Last winter was especially brutal for Cooke City, which is already known as Montana’s snowiest town.

Montana really is beautiful in the winter, and if you enjoy snow sports, you’ve probably been waiting for this all year.

Despite some pretty heavy snow, Montana winters are amazing. And you can celebrate the season in style by checking out a winter festival.
