Bridger Bowl is a ski area near Bozeman, Montana, serving locals and students of Montana State University.
Located in the Bridger Range in southern Montana, Bridger is a locally-owned non-profit ski area known for providing locals with affordable great terrain and outstanding snowfall, without the tourist crowds found at Big Sky and Moonlight Basin, destination ski resorts an hour south of Bozeman.
Bridger recently built a new ski patrol headquarters and a mid-mountain lodge "Deer Park Chalet." A new main lodge opened in 2005 at the base area. The ski area is named after noted mountain man Jim Bridger.
