The folks around Bozeman are super stoked today because local hideout Bridger Bowl is opening for the season. Bridger is legendary for its steeps, blower powder and crisp bluebird days. Everything you’d expect from a Big Sky country ski area!
All lifts except Schlasman’s, Snowflake and Flurry are scheduled to operate on Friday, but be aware of early-season conditions, the resort warns. Ski and ride with caution and have fun!
With a 25″ base, 54″ of snow since November 1st and a little snow forecast for the weekend, winter has finally arrived in Bozeman, MT.

“crisp bluebird days”….? Naaa. The BBC (https://bridgercanyonrealestate.com/bridger-bowl-cloud/) creates some amazing snow, but don’t oversell the vis, it’s usually fucking terrible….
