Getting Here
Bridger is committed to enhancing sustainability efforts and giving back to the community, contracting with local bus companies to offer a FREE bus service to and from the mountain during the winter operational season to reduce traffic and environmental impact.
Bridger Bowl is located just north of Bozeman in the Bridger Mountain Range, about 16 miles from downtown and roughly 30 minutes from town depending on road conditions.
Looking to save gas? Carpooling is highly encouraged and parking is free at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds Park N Ride lot at the Tamarack Street and Black Street entrance.
