Bridger Bowl

There’s nothing as primal as the adrenaline-inducing terror atop an extreme line. For one skier, Bridger Bowl is where she goes to find it.

Pandemic be damned, skiers are getting more convenient air service to more ski-town airports this winter than ever.

Community-owned and starkly independent, this Montana ski area is a masterpiece for skiers looking to leave fancy ski resorts for something real.

Idaho Springs’ Westbound and Down Brewpub cleaned up at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival, as did four other mountain town breweries.

One writer finds inspiration in a ski day well spent—even if it ends at 2 P.M. with a Montucky Cold Snack at the base lodge cafeteria.

These spots might not be on your radar, but they still have have something awesome going on.

The magical and daring journey of skiers.

Wondering where to ski in Montana? Here are our picks.

A recent avalanche ripped Bridger Bowl, Montana's slack country to the ground. We spoke with Eric Knoff, an avy forecaster at the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center, about the fact that tracks don't mean a slope is safe (there were over 200 tracks on the face that slid). This slide was skier triggered, but nobody was caught by the slide. Special thanks to the GNFAC for the photos.

Schlasman’s (pronounced Slushman’s) lift opened in December 2008 and accesses 300 acres and 1,700 feet of steep terrain. It’s more skier-friendly (translation: fewer places to get cliffed out) than the rest of Bridger Bowl’s gnarly Ridge, but beacons are required and nothing is marked. Case in point? Last season, patrol regularly performed rope rescues here.
