Skiing Bridger

Sunday January 28, 2007 at 6:19 PM

Last week I woke up on a Saturday and we had perfect weather for skiing here in Bozeman. It was overcast all day, with a good chance for a few inches of fresh snow. I grabbed my stuff and went over to Bridger Bowl for the day.

It was my first time skiing out here, and it was definitely very different compared to Minnesota. If I could describe it in one word, it would be “powder.” Skiing in powder is hard work!! The entire mountain has dozens of runs, most of which are either blue or black. The blue runs here are more like the blacks I’m used to back home.

Anyway, I found out there were over 2,000 people out on the entire hill, but it didn’t seem like that at all. It’s just such a large hill that everyone ends up being really spread out. So most of the lift lines were fairly short. The weather isn’t the greatest this weekend, but I’m keeping my eyes open for good skiing weather on the weekends.
