I thought I had skied some of the most extreme terrain yesterday at Moonlight Basin, until today when we skied The Ridge at Bridger Bowl. A new lift at Bridger make accessing this terrain a cinch- Dave felt like he was cheating. The hike is mangable, but the skiing is unreal. I honestly don’t think I’ve even been in that steep and technical ever. And considering this was a bad snow day and I came down grinning from ear to ear just further makes me want to ditch the high cost of Aspen and make Montana my home.
Skiing the Z Chute in Bridger Bowl
“2nd worst snow day of the year” according to our “guide”. I can live with that!

Oooooh! I love Bridger Bowl! We toured just outside the boundary last year–with Arnie and Red!–and had to tote them upon our return to the parking lot (we crossed through the area boundary a bit). The people were SO cool, everyone was laid back and nice and wanted to meet the boys. The skiing looked incredible, and I love that they encourage brown bagging!
Hope all’s well up there, xo,
