Spent 3 days at this mountain last week. Great fun mountain to ride, locals were cool AF. Not much of a nightlife, but you're close enough to Bozeman you can cruise there if you want. Not too expensive to ski either. Rented a cabin that we could ski to, so that was a cool experience.
At only 15 minutes or of Bozeman with no traffic, it's hard to beat Bridger Bowl. Has a great range of terrain from beginner green circles to shoot drops that will make Legolas's shield surfing look easy! Plus the food is pretty dang good. It's rather steep, but I get the chilly cheese fries for 8 bucks and usually can't finish. Don't waste your time and money on a trip to Bigsky this year just stay close to home and shred on the cold smoke!
Excellent value and lots of variety of terrain. Great light, dry snow. Terrain for everyone, even the most expert downhill skier. This ski area packs a lot of variety and doesn't have the big resort feel. It feels more like Mt. Hood Meadows, or Ski Cooper (two of my favorite places). A ticket at the counter was about $60 for the day. It wasn't too busy. Just right.
Awesome, awesome and more awesome plus plenty of powder to go around.
Weekdays here are the best. Weekends can be crazy. To many ski school kids.
Had so much fun but the staff on the
Lifts were rude and unpleasant
The snow and trail layout is great
They have amazing scenery and grooming
The parking is close and not overcrowded
Good prices - skiing terrain is either very advanced or beginner to mild intermediate - not much in between. Less commercialization here than most hills.
Great runs. Great snow. No lines or crowds. Very affordable
It's a gem. Get to the Ridge (beacon required) to ski great technical lines.
This place was amazing. A hidden gem with great snow and staff!
Nice local ski hill, $15 lift ticket for beginner area, to required avalanche beacon for expert runs on Schlusman lift, and everything in between. Get out and turn them boards!
Great local mountain with amazing runs. With diverse runs ranging from novice greens to technical ridge lines, Bridger Bowl stands out as a pristine MT mountain.
Lodge was packed, mountain was ok. Not much fresh snow. Need to get the avalanche pack.
Great place to ski/board. Lifts are quick, runs are long. Will be back.
I had a great time at Bridger Bowl Ski Area. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious. Richard (staff) made skiing easy. He is good instructor. I will recommend Bridger Bowl to all my friends and family.
Awesome back country skiing, some of the best in Montana! No resort beats BB, especially for the price!
Fantastic ski area, staff is super friendly and helpful. Lifts are super nice with conveyors. Tables can be a problem because people are jerks and can't read and leave their stuff on tables even though they're not supposed to. Staff could enforce it...but doesn't. Just move people's stuff to the floor...
Amazing mountain. Great ridge line to hike. And hit it the right day you want be sorry
Amazing and affordable ski area, run very well by local non-profit.
Bridger is a fantastic mountain! There is a large variety in terrain across the mountain, along with good snow coverage most of the time. The staff is very friendly, and the community among skiers and snowboarders is very strong here. Food at the lodges is very good, although there can be a lack of seating on busy days. The wait for lift lines usually isn't very long, at least on the upper mountain, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Very fun! Don't go too high up in the mountain if you don't think you can get down, there is some steep terrain.
Fun resort. Great snow, well maintained lift facilities. Huge. We could have gone for a week and still not hit everything.
The best for us locals, especially if retired and go during the week. I really love this place. Another good yet of snow. Nice people operating the lifts and eateries. Most weekdays the place belongs to you, with wide open runs and only a scattering of skiers and boarders. I ll be skiing here as long as I am able.
Good snow on a good hill for low prices. Only 15 minutes outside town
Staff members were extremely helpful on my very first day snowboarding as I fell down several hundred times.
Great runs, big snow, affordable and family friendly....no need to go outside Bozeman
Best local ski resort around. Friendly people. Non profit.
Seem to be one of the few local skiers left in Bozeman... Bridger has to figure out how to expand the base area / parking and get skiers disbursed up the hill to the ridge away from a 1/2 hour lift line at the bottom. Plan b is send transplants back home...
Awesome slopes. Not too crowded. Friendly staff. Helpful slope guides. Well groomed trails
There's just something about this place. It doesn't matter that the wind is blowing twenty miles per hour or that there are fifteen minute lines for the lift. This place is a community. It has a warmth, a kindness, that makes it feel like home.
Amazing resort, the ridge terrain is some of the most technical inbounds terrain in montana.
Best mountain in southwestern Montana. During their season which is early December til mid april, you have got helpful and friendly staff that from my experience do their best to make sure you get the best experience you can. Plus its Montana, the last BEST place!
No reason to pay big sky prices. Bridger is great terrain closer to town
Flew up from Phoenix for a quick ski/snowboard trip. Instantly fell in love with the mountain. Easy to navigate, plenty of runs to cater to each skill level, and much cheaper than Big Sky. Lodge had good selection of food and beverages. Rental equipment seemed to be in good shape.
We always have a blast at Bridger! Tons of runs from beginner to expert laid out on the face of a huge Montana mountain, get there early so you have time to hit all the lifts, there's a lot to see and do!
Power went out and we were stuck in line for 10minutes and there was no refund for tickets nor any second-day discounts. Great price for skiing but very poor customer service....a minimum discount would have been adequate for a "next day lift ticket."
Great skiing! I've skiid here since I was 5 (22 now) and I always find new places to explore. If you eat at any of the Lodges, you must try the fries!
Great local ski area! If you willing to work for it it has all the terrain to challenge any level of skier.
Briger Bowl is probaby the most fun/inspiring place that I've ever gone if you haved a heart for winter sports go to Briger!
Dec 1, 2020. Plenty of great snow if you're willing to hike for it! Probably needs another good storm or two before most of the mountain has proper coverage and they start running the lifts
Great staff! Really good lessons. Rental staff are very helpful. Buildings are clean and well organized. Great selection of various skill level runs.
Great place! Very organized, no lines, friendly staff. Snow was great! Kids has a blast!
(Bathrooms could use some updating)
Fantastic mountain with amazing expert inbound terrain. Bring your beacon and go with a local... not the greatest beginner mountain, but worth a visit for anyone.
Great local spot with a variety of terrain at an affordable price.
Great rates for what you get! Friendly staff, and smashing slopes, shredded some gnarly pow bro!
a GREAT PLACE TO SKI No Glamour or glitz . Just Great Skiing
What fun.great vibe. Super snow. Very reasonable lift tickets.
Great mountain all around. Good size lots of very varied terrain convenient to Bozeman and great powder. Also they gave great side open blades and trees.
Nice powder, no lines, great people, skiing variety, plenty of challenging slopes, clean, close to Bozeman and airport.
Dave the head of ski school is an arrogant jerk. It's time for somebody else to replace him. I've had nothing but poor experiences with a very few handful of the staff. The lift operators are a different sort of character. They are always happy and smiling and a joy to be around.
Came to visit friends in Bozeman and brought our gear. This mountain is best suited for skiers, but we snowboarded. Unreal steep chutes. Bring your av beacon cause you can't access parts of the mtn w/o it. Had fun as snowboarders just gotta plan your way out. Lots of flat sections on bottom. Snowed everyday we were here.
Great place without the crazy cost of Big Sky. The snow is awesome, the slopes range from "just learning" to "extreme chutes", all from lift access. An avalanche becon is required to ski the chutes. The lift tickets are very affordable at 63 dollars for what the mountain is, especially the kids rates (25 dollars), which is any kid 12 or under. If you need to go ski for your status or your Instagram page then go to Big Sky and pay stupid prices for everything. If you really want to ski and do it at a place which has all the terrain a person could ask for without the stupid hype, come to Bridger Bowl.
This place sucks. Stick to Big Sky. Bridger doesn't have any good terrain and the snow is weak.
Awesome place to ski. Awesome variety of terrain from beginner to experts. Excellent snow conditions. Employees are good natured and actually appear to enjoy working at this awesome little mountain. Parking, lifts, lodges are all top notch and the price is right! Also, the staff was super helpful helping us plan a ski and stay package. Great customer service!
This is bar none the best ski area in the universe!
Ok this is our low rent ski area, but it is pretty great. Can be crowded on weekends after a good pow but so close to Bozeman and great service. Non profit, amazingly cheap for kids.
Bridger Bowl will always be one of my favorite ski resorts because of the local feel of the mountain, the amazing powder days, and the simple fact that it s only 16 miles from downtown Bozeman. The variety of terrain is great for everyone from beginners to those who enjoy the backcountry!
Very close to bozeman. Lift lines can be a bit excessive on the weekends.
9 inches of fresh cold smoke served with enthusiasm!
