Bridger closes out season w/ Grand Prize Drawing, ‘Carve Out Hunger’
The Spring Equinox Dual GS follows Sunday, March 18th. This Dual Giant Slalom Race is designed for 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. Limited to 100 competitors.
This event is for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and costs $15 for all competitors. Race day registration will be held in Jim Bridger Lodge from 8:30–10am. If under the age of 18, signature of a parent or legal guardian is required.
Also on March 18th, Mountain Dew, Embassy Suites by Hilton Oahu Kapolei, and Bridger Bowl have teamed up for this season’s Grand Prize Drawing — a trip to Hawaii! Those who participated in Bridger Bowl’s Community Event Series (CES) are automatically entered for a chance to win a four day, four night vacation with airfare for two adults. With each CES event entry during the 2017/18 season, participants increase their chance to win. The drawing will take place in Jim Bridger Lodge, along with awards for the Spring Equinox, beginning at 4pm. Must be present to win.
Finally, Bridger Bowl and the Gallatin Valley Food Bank team up annually to collect food to feed local residents with Carve Out Hunger. In 2017, 2,278 pounds of food were donated. The sixth annual event takes place Saturday, March 24th from 8am–2pm outside Saddle Peak Lodge. For every 15 cans of food, donors receive one voucher good for a $25 lift ticket and one entry to win a 2018-19 Bridger Bowl Adult Season Pass.
