Bridger Bowl

The ski area is located on the east slope of the Bridger Mountain Range. With four large bowls within the boundaries, the ski area offers wide-open terrain with a variety of landscapes including long, wide-open slopes, glades, chutes, and gullies.

The mountain lays out in a large funnel or "V" shape expanding from about 200 yards in width across the base area up to approximately 2 miles wide across the ridge top.

Family and friends of varying skill levels can ride several of our chair lifts together while still enjoying varying terrain best matching their individual ability.

Bridger Bowl's terrain difficulty rating (beginner to expert) is fairly easy to determine based on elevation.

Generally speaking, the ski area offers first-time beginner slopes in the base area, novice terrain across the lower middle, wide-open intermediate runs in the center, advanced open bowl terrain in the upper third and, finally, expert terrain coming off the ridge top.

Ridge Terrain

Bridger Bowl’s Ridge Terrain presents some of the most challenging skiing and riding within any ski area boundary. Numerous steep chutes, rock cliffs, and snowfields which may end in cliffs with no hazard markings, no grooming and no marked trails.

An avalanche transceiver (457 khz) is required for all skiers and snowboarders to access Bridger’s Ridge Terrain including riding Schlasman’s Lift.

It is strongly recommended to have a partner, a shovel and expert skiing or snowboarding abilities in addition to knowledge of the terrain before venturing into any of Bridger's designated lift or hike-accessed ridge terrain (View Ridge Guide).
