Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Out of 4 of us, I’m the skier who sticks to greens because I’m anxious.
This was my idea of a perfect day of skiing. The worst part was the very end by the lifts. Very chill, beautiful views everywhere. My kids and husband had a great day on other runs. 11 yo said “best day skiing ever” he’s been to Breckinridge 3 times, and park city - so I’d say high praise.
I’d love to come here again.

I bought a car is less time time than it took to buy a one day lift pass at Bridger. They require you to open an account which is ludicrous for one day of skiing. The mountain is a lot of fun but they need new management.

This was our first time skiing here and it was great. Tons of wide well groomed runs which was nice. Not a lot of people due to covid pre purchase requirements. Not a ton of moguls and what was there was very manageable. My 46 year old legs don’t appreciate moguls anymore, and most of the resort is groomed so it was enjoyable. To be honest the coverage was a little sparse, but not much the resort can do about that. The drive to the resort was super easy. No scary mountain road drive at all. Good parking and excellent amenities. We didn’t go up to the top of the ridge at all, but if you are looking for some steep drops and shoots they have it. Adult ticket was $65 I think and my 15 year old was only $40. Excellent experience.

The hill is very heavily used and ridden that it was ruts/ice from people’s boards. Biggest problem is they need more snow (not their fault). Lots of very nice people to talk to. The lodge and bar were completed packed and it was hard to find anywhere to sit. Overall a good day.

Recent ski trip (our first visit) as a family did not disappoint. Facilities were clean, food was good, and decently priced. Employees are very friendly, we were impressed with how personable they were, especially with kids. Lots of high-fives and encouragement for kids learning to ski. Lift prices were quite reasonable and the conditions were great after fresh snow. The vibe from other skiers was chill and laid back. The mountain offered a great experience for all levels. We will definitely be back.

Once Again Bridger Bowl Skiing was a total blast. John Saams - awesome ski instructor crushed it. We worked with him twice a day for 5 days two years ago, and last week he was terrific as well. Anyone wanting a great ski experience should reach out to Bridger Bowl in Bozeman for ski lessons and wonderful skiing for all levels. Even great skiers would enjoy this local resort.
A shout out to the women in the Ski School office. Peggy, Jennifer & Shannon are fantastic.

We bought everything we needed online (Bridger bowl card, ski lift tickets, rental gear). We got there at 815 so we could be ready for our 9am snowboarding lesson. The rental guys were super helpful. We have 3 boys (ages 14, 12, 9) who had never done anything like this before and needed a lot of help!! Fast forward to the boys 3 hour lesson with Erin (who was excellent) and the boys were going down hills!! My husband and I sat in the lodge watching from a far. The food at the lodge is good but a little expensive. We had an excellent experience!!

I grew up skiing on this hill, so it's a special place for me. Usually smaller crowds and certainly cheaper prices than nearby Big Sky. The terrain can be quite challenging if you're prepared to look for it. The only reason I marked a four star was because I went early in the year before enough snow had accumulated and the slopes were a bit "gravelly". It will pick up soon and be great skiing.

My husband and I bought a midweek ski package from Bridger Bowl. This included skiing at Bridger and staying at the Element in downtown Bozeman. We loved both experiences and highly recommend this package! Fern Corwin from Bridger coordinated the details. She was so kind and easy to contact and we even got to meet her in person when we were at Bridger. If you can get away for midweek skiing this is the BEST- no crowds, no lift lines, and lunch at Alpine cabin mid mountain.
The Element has a lobby breakfast that is beautiful and bountiful and also a relaxing happy hour . We plan to return next winter.

Snow was amazing, views were amazing, staff was amazing. Simply one of the best ski areas in the U.S. for experienced skiers who like to hang out with, and be around, other skiers. But also very family friendly. Saw as many young families as I saw hard core skiers going off the edge.

I was interested in visiting Bozeman in January to ski at the Bridger Bowl. I have never visited the Bridger Bowl and am a novice skier. I have watched some videos and it does look spectacular. I was thinking of staying in Bozeman and driving out to ski. Would be there on weekdays. Was wondering if I need an all wheel drive vehicle to get there from Bozeman and back each day. Also might drive to Yellowstone for some snow shoeing. AWD is more expensive to rent I believe. Many thanks for help with this question.

You will love the experience. Drive up from Bozeman is simple and cleared. If renting a car AWD is always perfect but just having snow tires should cover your travels just fine.

Anyone know the approximate prices for ski school for a 6 year old at Bridger Bowl?
Written 14 April 2019
I think a group lesson was about $50 - I was there this past January and in my group there was just me so essentially a private lesson. Bridger bowl is one of the most spectacular ski areas I’ve been to and it was about half the price of Big Sky.

Anyone have any reviews on Bridger PlayCare? We have a 2 year old and were wondering if it would be fun and safe for her.
Written 27 February 2015
No I have not used playcare, but I would bet they re top notch.
