Dec 1, 2020. Plenty of great snow if youre 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

A very nice locals ski resort. Not as big and fancy as Big Sky but close to town and has some of the best snow around. It can get a bit cold in the middle of winter. Very normal to have ski temps in the negative. So make sure your skin is all covered and throw and extra layer on.

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!

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.

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 doesnt 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 wasnt too busy. Just right.

Learned to ski there, it was great to get back there 20 years later. Fantastic mountain from green to double black!

Great local spot with a variety of terrain at an affordable price.

While its not Big Sky, its quite a fantastic place to be. Great rides. Incredibly friendly people. I wish that I lived closer to any mountain like this... I would snowboard so much more often.

Best local ski resort. I grew up skiing here. The staff is friendly and care more about the skiers than making $. The mountain is well cared for with runs for every level. The food is amazing but to save $ we do pack our lunch mostly. They are always improving. Now Im teaching my kids here and the bunny hill is wonderful. 2 magic carpets and a short lift. Great terrain for the kids to learn to ski on.

Of the three major resorts within 2 hours. (Big sky, red lodge and bridger bowl), Bridger is the best resort. Less rocks overall means you need less coverage to have a good experience. If you live in billings its only 40 more min more than red lodge for a bigger resort. Least expensive of the 3. No holiday rates. Good restaurant at the lodge.

This place is amazing. The prices are amazing for a real ski resort, the food is great, and the area is beautiful. Staff was accommodating. This place is great for families. Parking is good, and lift times arent super long for the distance. It is located in a national park, so high speed chairlifts are not available, but that is no problem. Check this place out, and you wont regret it.

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.

Such an amazing mountain. Tons of terrain options for all levels. Has a local feel while still having wonderful amenities. We stayed in Bozeman which allowed us to go out to eat and enjoy the local hot springs in the evening and the drive each morning was beautiful and quick. I highly recommend!

I want to give it one star so it nevers shows up in searches and it can stay a secret... but what the heck. Its just the best, simply put. Affordable, local, tons of fun.

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.

It was summer and I went to hike not to ski. The route to the top is not well marked so its good to have a map but you get up to the ridge rather quickly. In the early summer the flowers are beautiful

What amazing views !!! This place is heaven on earth

$60 to ski all day in a setting like this? Outstanding. Staff was friendly, many of the buildings were new or updated. I expected a mom&pop operation but Bridger, although somewhat limited in scale compared to other resorts, certainly packs a punch. Dollar for dollar, you cant beat it.

This mountain was awesome. Short waits in the lift lines, great boarding, nice staff. We set up a stay and ski package through Bridger Bowl and everything was great.

I liked this park because of the greens. There are a few greens great for beginners. Thats me.There are several blues next to Greens as you come down i end my 9 year old got on a blue by accident. Ugh. Horrible. But we stayed strong and eventually made it down.If following correctly (which i didnt) from the top can go a long way on greens to bottom. The best way to get better is to practice and ski. This park can allow that for new skiers.2 places to get rental skis. At lodge and about 100 feet below lodge. There is a convenience at the lodge when leaving closer, right there to check in. The other rental place, you have a bit of a hike down to return the skis.Note we used the one further down not at the lodgr. Great service! Fast and they checked our gear right there. Nice place.

Affordable lift tickets & great terrain from chargers to looks theres something for everyone.

We visit with a group of college friends at least once a year. This is an excellent ski area with awesome snow and variety of terrain at an affordable price. The lift belts make the lines go quickly too!

I have skied all over the Eastern, Western USA and the European Alps. In my opinion this little mountain has the best value comparison to other larger and more amenity sophisticated mountains dollar for dollar. Not only from a monetary value but an all ski ability family mountain. I give it five star for these reasons hands...down...

Im from Massachusetts and had never been skiing before but your instructors were amazing and patient. Lines werent long. Beautiful snow!

Friendly staff. Love the simple, hometown feel. Bridger is a non-profit, so the prices are reasonable and my kids have had such great learning experiences in they ski school!

We love this ski area. The new lifts added in the last few years are really amazing. The bunny hill is great for kids and beginners. There are several lodges spaced around which is perfect because one is always pretty close.

This is by far the most family friendly ski area Ive been to! We were teaching our littles to ski and I was able to get a discounted pass to stay in the beginner areas with my kiddos. Thank you, Bridger, for making skiing affordable!

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!

Awesome, awesome and more awesome plus plenty of powder to go around.

Fun low key ski area. Wide variety of terrain from beginner to what the hell did I get myself into. You do need an avalanche beacon to go to the very top and you can rent them in town for day use.

Awesome spot with all levels of terrain.

Whenever there’s actually snow it seems like they close all the lifts except for the runs where you’ll just sink and get stuck because it’s so flat. Poor online notifications regarding closures leaves you driving for over an hour just to turn around and waste the better part of the day (when you could’ve gone to Big Sky). Way too expensive, season pass is almost a grand now and they offer no student discounts. Big Sky is better snow, better terrain, better (faster/bigger) lifts, and at this point marginally more expensive for what you’re getting.

I have been skiing here ever since I could remember and its never let me down. Bridger has runs for beginners to experts like the ridge and everywhere in between.

Great place! Very organized, no lines, friendly staff. Snow was great! Kids has a blast!(Bathrooms could use some updating)

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.

One of the best ski hills in America. All of the terrain, low lift lines and no resort drama. Our family loves Bridger Bowl

I bought a powder alliance pass for the sole reason of being able to snowboard some new mountains. Thanks to all the convenient black out dates it was a big waste of money. They blackout all the times when working people have off work. If they dont want my money Ill spend it elsewhere. I will never buy one again. Icon pass or Epic pass next time.

Excellent skiing. A more technical mountain than big sky...the double blacks are actual double blacks. The shoots can be unforgiving and the jumps are well manicured.

Fun resort. Great snow, well maintained lift facilities. Huge. We could have gone for a week and still not hit everything.

Great place to walk and hike in the summer.

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 isnt very long, at least on the upper mountain, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

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...

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 cant 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.

This is an amazing mountain, I hope to return soon.

Awesome runs and great people! Not as big as Big Sky obviously, but if you are looking for great skiing at a fair price, Bridger is definitely the place to be!

Great skiing! Ive 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!

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!

Great local ski area! If you willing to work for it it has all the terrain to challenge any level of skier.

Year after year I keep returning to Bridger Bowl for my annual ski trip. The mountain is beautiful with well groomed areas for those who like that, as well as plenty of powdery off the beaten path trails. In a recent experience a fellow skier of mine was injured on the North Bowl. Ski patrol was there within minutes without us calling (we got lucky and he saw the potential need for help). Eddy the ski patrol was knowledgeable and flexible to accommodate whatever we wanted. He fixed her knee up in the ski patrol building and offered anything we needed for help. When it came time to see if we could get a refund on ski rentals the gentlemen in the ski shop didnt hesitate for a second. They gave a full refund knowing that the knee problem was going to prevent any skiing the next day. I cant speak enough on how great Bridger Bowl Ski Area is.

Bozeman’s very own ski area. Located just 25 min from downtown Bridger Bowl has terrain you satisfy everyone from beginners to experts.

Great friendly staff. Nice open slopes without crowds or waiting for lifts. Awesome day.

Great snow. Great people. Expert terain is as good as any big name resort.

Great place to ski

I really enjoyed this place super friendly and helpful employees. The slopes were wonderful

Group lessons were a big help for my kids. I grew up on Bridger but moved away 12 years ago, crazy how much its grown. Cant wait to bring the fam back again.

Class trip ski day. Everyone had a great time. Ski staff was amazing and helpful for all.

Best Hometown Skiing Around!

Good instructor. Fresh powder. Great time with my Son!

Wonderful local ski area.

Some of the best skiing Ive ever experienced. Beautiful slope and acceptable on the slope food.

Used to ski there a lot, but too busy now. On any kind of powder day the parking lot is full by 10am. They call Bridger Bowl the powder half hour...the place is tracked out in half an hour.I included a couple of photos of the old days. Skiing the Head 360, and driving to the ski hill.

The hill is very heavily used and ridden that it was ruts/ice from people’s boards. Biggest problem is they need more snow (not their fault). Lots of very nice people to talk to. The lodge and bar were completed packed and it was hard to find anywhere to sit. Overall a good day.

Im a big fan of bridger bowl

Amazing and affordable ski area, run very well by local non-profit.

Whats not to love about Bridger Bowl. Great terrain with a small mountain feel.

Nothing bad about actually skiing, however disappointed that there isnt an option to go up on the lift (only for viewing purposes) one time, unless you buy the full day lift ticket. Big Sky and other places let you do it for a fraction of the price.

Amazing! Find a local to take you up the ridge. Get a beacon first, tether your equipment to a bag and get in shape first!!

This is the local spot vs the corporate resort down south. The vibes and price points are the best in the state.

It was lovely to walk the path but was deserted as was not ski season.

Great runs, and loads of lodges on the hill to make a stop and get a snack.

20 min from downtown Bozeman, $63 lift tickets. Fun mountain to get your sea legs under you before going to big sky

Bridger has great skiing, is reasonably priced and gets the pow regularly!

Great ski and only 30 minutes from town.

Incredible people, Utah snow has me spoiled, but the people make it all better.

Really enjoyed this day below at Bridger Bowl in Bozeman MT nothing but powder.

Wonderful ski area plus we had exceptional snow and sunshine

Good prices - skiing terrain is either very advanced or beginner to mild intermediate - not much in between. Less commercialization here than most hills.

I understand with a growing concern for health and safety that the mountain was closed down early however that does not excuse the fact that it was only open for 3 hours and I paid for a full price ticket ($63). Regardless of how you look at it this is theft from every single person (that bought a day ticket) that went up on the 15th only to have it closed at noon. We were not told at the ticket office that the mountain would be closing down at noon either.

Great skiing, no lines to small lines, where locals go, tons of snow and great runs.

Been going here for about 5 years now, always love it in the Mountains. Way better than the bumps in Minnesota. Plus it’s cheaper than a lot of the surrounding areas.

People and slopes are fantastic. Love to see a nicer, more ski-lodge worthy restaurant/lounge area.

Beautiful Views and Great Skiing - 30mins from downtown Bozeman. Spotted cell service on the drive out. Download your maps to your devices before you head out into the mountains.

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.

Our family loves skiing Bridger Bowl.

Not worth visiting no gondolas stay away

Its our local hill. We love skiing it as a family. I would ski this place even if I didnt live nearby.

Perfect place to get send-o-matic with the Bois. Gets a little packed with Jerrys on weekends. No brews in the lift line too.

Unless its a Wednesday, with no new snow, at 3:30pm- Bridger Bowl is a zoo. Now, if you like 30 minute lift lines, no parking, and a sub-par ski experience- it might be your place. And dont be fooled by the positive reviews: theyre most likely left by Oatans from Buck Hill or Jerry Peak.Save your money, and your time, and head to Front range Colorado, Tahoe, or Jackson, and avoid the garbage that is Montana skiing/snowboarding.

Great local ski hill with plenty of back-country access and great terrain.

Great local ski hill.Not enough can be said about how awesome the entire staff is!

Awesome small town feel, with some pretty gnarly terrain.

Go Jimbo!!! Can’t wait to get married here this coming fall!!

Such a beautiful experience and the instructors are amazing and super helpful.

Super lovely runs and lifts.

A great local family mountain. And with a decent price.

Had so much fun but the staff on theLifts were rude and unpleasant

The snow and trail layout is greatThey have amazing scenery and groomingThe parking is close and not overcrowded

My favorite. Old school skiing, runs with no boundaries; virtually ski wherever you want to or can.

Had a great time snowboarding here! A friend and I drove all the way from St. Cloud, MN to ride for a couple of days. Lots of runs, good powder in the trees and a very friendly staff!

Best ski hill ever! Non-profit, all the money goes back into the hill. Great powder, short lines, and great runs. Montanas best kept secret! Those with money go to Big Sky, but those who know go to Bridger Bowl!!!
