The ski area is located on the east slope of the Bridger Range and extends approximately 2 miles between its north and south boundaries from the ridgeline down to the base area at 6,100’. Bridger Bowl is flanked by large bowls to the North and South. Most of the ski area offers wide open terrain with a variety of landscapes including long slopes, glades, chutes and gullies in addition to other smaller bowls. What most folks enjoy about Bridger Bowl is that family and friends of varying skill levels can ride the same chair while still enjoying terrain challenges they individually desire. The mountain lays out in a large funnel or V shape. With base area facilities and lifts at the bottom of the slopes, they expand from about 200 yards across the base up to approximately 2 miles wide on their ridge-lined summit.
Bridger Bowl’s terrain difficulty rating (beginner to expert) is fairly easy to determine based on elevation. Generally speaking, the ski area has a nice transitional progression from a first-time beginner slope in the base area to 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 contains numerous steep chutes, rock cliffs, and snow fields which may end in unmarked cliffs. Bridger Bowl’s Ridge Terrain offers some of the most challenging skiing and riding found within any ski area boundary!
