Bridger Bowl
Bridger Bowl stands proudly in Montana's Gallatin Range, offering 2,000 acres of diverse terrain that calls to both beginners and expert skiers. With its characteristic cold smoke powder and steep chutes, this community-owned mountain has maintained its authentic charm while delivering world-class skiing since 1955. The resort's unique character comes from its local spirit and commitment to pure skiing experience rather than commercial glamour.
Eight lifts serve Bridger Bowl's varied terrain, providing access to everything from gentle learning slopes to the legendary Ridge terrain. The lift network includes two high-speed quads that efficiently transport skiers to prime locations across the mountain. Our signature Schlasman's lift opens the door to expert-only terrain, where steep slopes and challenging conditions await skilled skiers and riders.
