Ski Bridger Bowl - Bozeman, Montana

By Special Advertiser, 1-28-08

Bridger Bowl is located 16 miles northeast of Bozeman on MT Highway 86.  As a private, nonprofit ski area with no owners, all profits are reinvested into the area, enabling Bridger Bowl to provide a high quality ski experience for a low price.  Be sure to check out our ”What’s New” section at BridgerBowl.com to view the progress on our new lift installation (scheduled to open for the ‘08-’09 season) serving 300 acres of new terrain in the Slushman’s area south of our current boundary. 

Bridger Bowl is primarily a community ski area that also attracts destination visitors, with Bozeman, home to Montana State University and an active sporting community, serving as the main bed base with most of the lodging and entertainment options.  There are many excellent restaurants, shops, galleries, microbreweries and bars, with music and cultural events throughout the year.  Yellowstone National Park is only 90 miles from Bozeman, and winter recreation is available in and around the park.  On the mountain, we have two day lodges in the base area containing a guest service ski and bag check, ski and snowboard school, daycare center, rental shop, cafeteria, and bar & grill.  At mid-mountain there is a third day-use chalet offering excellent home baked goods, hot soups, sandwiches and beverages in a beautiful post and beam constructed building.

Bridger Bowl offers 1,500 skiable acres with over 2,600 vertical feet (2,000 lift-served) typically blanketed by light, dry “cold-smoke” powder snow renowned for its quality and quantity.  Inbounds terrain is lift accessed by 4 double chairs, 2 triple chairs and 1 quad chair, with 71 named runs and slopes. The area is primarily comprised of two large bowls to the North and South, with wide open terrain and a variety of landscapes including long slopes, glades, chutes, gullies in addition to other smaller bowls.  Bridger Bowl offers a very diverse ski experience: 25% beginner, 35% intermediate, 30% advance and 10% extreme.

Incredible expert-only skiing is available on Bridger’s Ridge, a hike-to area 400 vertical feet above the Bridger Lift.  Ridge skiing requires expert ability, an avalanche transceiver (457 khz), shovel, partner and knowledge of the terrain.  The Ridge has radical chutes, rock cliffs, and steep snowfields, providing some of the most challenging skiing found within any ski area boundary. 

Bridger Bowl’s Adult Lift Tickets are only $43/day. Multi-day tickets for 3 days or more are $38/day.  Children 12 and under ski for only $15/day.  Our Powder Hound Package starts as low as $49/person/day and offers the best value on a ALL SEASON lift and lodging package that you will find anywhere in North America!
