Bridger Bowl is a local ski hill for the residents of Bozeman, Montana and students at Montana State University-Bozeman. Located in the Bridger Range in Southwestern Montana, Bridger is a locally owned non-profit ski area known for providing locals with affordable great terrain and great snow without the out-of-state and tourist crowds involved with Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin Resort, the other ski areas near Bozeman. Bridger has recently built a new ski patrol headquarters, a midmountain lodge--Deer Park Chalet; and in 2005 they opened a new main lodge at the bottom of the hill. The ski area is named after Jim Bridger.
