Bridger Bowl is getting a head start on the new year with its annual Torchlight Parade on Tuesday, December 30th. After a day of skiing, enjoy a delicious spaghetti dinner and marvel as the Bridger snowsports instructors snake down the hill holding torchlights followed by a fantastic fireworks display in the base area. Dinner begins at 4pm in the Jim Bridger and Saddle Peak lodges with the parade and fireworks starting at nightfall. Live music by Roadrunner and Brendan Nolan with local brews from Bozeman Brewing Co to complete the celebration. Free to attend, spaghetti dinner sold separately.
Bridger has also announced the early 2026 return of its Community Dual GS Series, open to citizen racers of all ages and boards – alpine skis, tele skis, or snowboards. Compete against your friends! Take one run on the blue course and one run on the red course. Best of two timed runs. Upcoming races are set for Jan. 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th and 24th with more to follow later in the season. A bonus race, the Spring Equinox GS, will take place March 28th. Stay tuned for details.
