I’m flying with my family of 5 basic economy is all we do. And our dates are locked in Feb 5-10 MSY to FCA
Alright well now I what I'm working with. You're in for a long day of travel unless you want to spend the money for only one connection.
Cheapest- Nola to Seattle to Kalispell, one stop on Alaska. $2592 for 5 people LINK
Are you renting a car? Wondering if you'd be interested in driving 2 hr 20 min from Missoula to Whitefish? Got it down to $2165 but 2 connections each way if you do that on Delta. And this is so far in advance that i'd expect a schedule change or two and you can hopefully rebook to a one-stop on Delta at least on the way back through minneapolis
LINK
Or you take a one-stop connection and drive 5 hours from Bozeman to Whitefish with flights costing $1987 on American LINK
Oh wait, I got you. Book two one-ways- Fly into Kalispell, fly out of Missoula.
$1097 on Alaska for 5 people on the way there LINK
$893 on Delta for 5 people on the way back, but its from Missoula LINK
Looks like the problem ticket is actually from Kalispell to Nola on 2/10, that bumps up the ticket price to $1500 for a one-way. If you can find a way to get a one-way rental from Kalispell to Missoula, you should come out ahead

You the fricking man. Yes we have a rental already.

For the rental, if the company would charge you to return to a different location, one thing ive done in the past is a quick one-way dropoff. Aka turn in the long return for kalispell back to kalispell and then pick up a 'new' car immediately after that youre going to drive back to missoula (if you go that route)
Last time i did this was in Aspen for a ski trip. Had a bigass jeep wagoneer as the rental, turned it in, got a 2WD intermediate SUV and made it across vail pass back to DIA area before the snowstorm hit. Had changed my flights due to aspen airport being a crapshoot in bad winter weather

It's August man, can't go on forever. We got low-to-mid 80s coming next week
Which also means it's time to start going heavy on legs/core at the gym for preseason training over the next few months.

Farmer's almanac last year said winter was supposed to be awesome on the western slope...we all learned how that turned out.
This year, same thing, only because of El Nino or what have you.
That said, for all you powder chasers out there, especially as it pertains to Vail, BC, etc. Check out the Hudson Bay. Yes, the body of water in Canada. Once you see the pressure start to drop over the Hudson hang on to your butts in the valley.
and fwiw, i live out here. if anyone wants recs or help with anything just holler. There is no sonic, however. or Popeye's.

Steamboat: One of my favorite places to go. We went there twice in a row when the kids were learning to ski. If you can fly straight into Hayden, I would do that and take the shuttle to your resort from the airport. You don't need a car when you are there. Most resorts have a free private shuttle to and from the base of the mountain, into town, the grocery store, etc.
We stayed at Trappeurs Crossing Timberline Lodge. We took the shuttle most days to and from the base of the mountain. A couple of afternoons we walked back to stop at the local market.
The Old Town Hot Springs is a fun place to go. Basically a big heated swimming pool. They have a few smaller pools as well that are hotter. Water slide, rock wall. We also did tubing at Saddleback Ranch. All of the tubing is about the same wherever, but this place was the most laid back than others.
