Large mountain with lots of terrain and great snow even in early 2023-2024 season with terrain for all levels of skiers 10/10 would recommend

Very fun "local" ski hill. Very quick access from Bozeman (16miles) which is a beautiful town which tons of hotels, air bnb's, and options for eating out. Although it is a little local hill it has a very strong community with many experienced skiers. They also have a ton of different types of terrain along with a boot pack up to the ridge. Overall a great hill.

Most days there is no line for a lift. Endless terrain to hit. They have good groomers and even better more advanced terrain. Ski lifts arent dance or super new and fast but plenty good enough. Very good community and almost everyone you meet is very nice and easy to get along with

Bridger is 20 min north of Bozeman with free parking at the mountain base. Many expert terrain areas, ranging from low grade glades to steep and deep. Family friendly runs are typically located at the lower portion of the mountain with many wide open groomers so you can perfect your carving skills. If you like bluebird pow days at a fraction of the price of those spendy resorts, then Bridger Bowl is for you!

Bridger Bowl has great terrain for more advanced skiers as well as great options for beginners. However, the daily ticket price is quite costly for the lift lines that one has to deal with.

Bridger Bowl is an experts paradise with the most difficult terrain anywhere! The ridge terrain is unmatched. But it is also still a great resort for beginners and intermediates. Has some really fun mellow terrain. The park isn't great but they have one. But you can't lap the park very fast because the lifts are all slow.

This place is super good for big mountain but not a resort a park skier would really enjoy. The powder is insane and the people are super fun.

Bridger is easily my favorite resort in North America, but it isnt for the faint of heart nor the tourist. The in-bounds terrain at Bridger is mediocre at best. Nothing particularly poor about it, just very short groomed runs and essentially no park. however, once you venture up the ridge you unlock so much more skiable acreage that totally changes your perspective on the resort

This is a locals mountain. You have to be here for the Stoke and for hiking. The ski lifts are slow but if you hike you can make it worth it. theres a great bar at the base area where a ton of locals hang out and drink after. They have cheap Jell-O shots.
