Idaho>Montana>>>>Alaska

Spend a winter in Alaska and you'll start to prefer Montana quick. Being unable to start your car because the gas is frozen pretty much sucks.

[/ QUOTE ]haha what? Idaho is one of the worst states in the Union. Montana owns it, as does Alaska.


As to OP, never been to Alaska, but everything I have heard about it would sway it over Montana. Although the Rockies are amazing. I am pretty happy I had a chance to live there. Right length of time as well (1 year LOL).


Not sure what you mean about the Californicaztion.

Check the temperatures in Alaska versus Montana and you will find they are similar, (depending where in Alaska), especially southeastern Alaska, might even be milder winters than Montana.

I thought this was going to be a "worse state to live in?" thread.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Idaho won that one.

I spent the first 30 years of my life in Saskatchewan (right above Montana) and then 4 years in Anchorage (technically in Alaska.) Anchorage's winter temperatures are way milder than Montana/Saskatchewan, but much more snow in Anchorage. So I agree that Anchorage winters are overall much more tolerable.

The western part of Montana is being bought up by people from California. People in California made huge amounts of money and a killing on real estate gone wild and saw huge bargains on real estate in Western Montana, a lower cost of living, beautiful surroundings and started buying things. The biggest problem with this has been people from California not seeing eye to eye with the local people. That can range from just irritating to downright disgusting in some cases.

Very well stated. (re: Californicated)

Eastern Montana is way different than Western Montana.
Like Anchorage is not Alaska, but somehow is in that state.
