FYI, Kalispell is only 400Km on the Going To The Sun Road, but the road is closed in winter and has a really low speed limit in summer. (And you have to pay for a park permit as well, even if you are just driving through.) There is a route that goes around the South end of the park which should be open in winter... it is further, but probably takes the same amount of time.

Go down through the Crowsnest and enter the USA at Eureka. Then you are only a hop, skip and jump to Kalispell and much faster than going over the Logan Pass. It is a gorgeous drive, but it is slow and it is only accessible 3 or 4 months of the year.
