Out of Bounds - There is only one word to be said about the absolute must do in the Bridger Bowl area. It might be about an hour and a half drives away. It might take several days to really get the sense of the place. But if you don't go there, you'll regret it for a very long time. The word is just one and its one of the most famous place names in America: Yellowstone. Bridger Bowl is one of the favorite places in the West for the really wild boarders to go insane in the deepest powder that never ever ends. You can select from a literally infinite selection of heart-pounding outdoor sports such as hot air ballooning, cross country skiing, fishing, rock and ice climbing, snowcatting, horseback riding, ice skating, jeeping and offroad driving, sledding, and snowmobiling.
Hangout & Hookup - Bozeman is a college town so it's naturally chock full of students, and where there are students, there are always fantastic places to get sloshed and dance and party the night away. For some really hot action in Bozeman, check out Boodle's, The Crystal Bar, and The Zebra, which is the hottest live music spot in town, and maybe in all of Montana. Also well worth a visit are The Cat's Paw, Robin Lounge, The Leaf And The Bean, and Montana Ale Works for some locally brewed fresh suds. If you are seriously pursuing the idea of a college hookup you can't do better than to head for the "Barmuda Triangle" at the intersection of Main Street and 8th Avenue where you'll find The Haufbrauhaus, The Scoop and The Molly Brown, all teeming with very drunk and very friendly college students in the process of blowing next semester's tuition money on their bar tab. Is this a great country or what?
The Deal - Bozeman's Gallatin Field Airport is served by some major airlines. If you're driving in, you're about 400 miles from Salt Lake City and 700 miles from both Seattle and Denver. Once you hit Bozeman, head out on Montana Hwy. 86 about 15 miles to Bridger Bowl.
