| Bridger Bowl is a private, nonprofit ski area. Since there
are no owners, all profits go back into the area for improvements and operational
budgets. This is why Bridger Bowl can afford to provide a high-quality ski experience
for a very low price. There are 69 named runs, with the longest one being 3
miles in length. Two large bowls to the north and south flank the area. Most
of the area offers wide-open terrain with a variety of landscape, including
long slopes, glades, chutes and gullies in addition to other smaller bowls.
Bridger Bowl is the only ski resort with a Daily Video. Check
out the conditions from last year at this time, or the record snow day on Dec.
28th, 2003. Bridger Bowl offers a very diverse ski experience. You will find
incredible expert-only skiing on Bridger's infamous ridge. Skiers who wish to
access this terrain must hike up 400 vertical feet above the Bridger Lift. Ridge
skiing requires expert ability and having an avalanche transceiver, 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. On the mountain you will find a lodge in the base area
with a central reservations office, ski school, rental shop, cafeteria, and
bar & grill. At mid-mountain, there is another chalet offering excellent
home-baked goods, hot soups, sandwiches and beverages.
Bridger Bowl is primarily a community ski area that also caters to
destination travelers. Bozeman acts as the main bed base with most
of the lodging and entertainment alternatives. Bozeman, Montana is a university
town and a very active sporting community. There are many excellent restaurants,
shops, galleries, microbreweries and bars. The community supports a strong cultural
presence with a wide variety of music available ranging from country music to
jazz. Yellowstone National Park is only 90 miles from Bozeman, and winter recreation
is available in and around the park. Bridger Bowl is located 16 miles north
of Bozeman, Montana, on Highway 86. |
