Mask up
Multi layer face coverings are required in lodges, lift lines,
loading and unloading zones.
Practice social distancing
Maintain a 6ft distance from others.
Wash and Sanitize
Hand sanitizer available in numerous locations in all lodges, please
wash and santize hands frequently.
Stay home if you feel sick

and pains, shortness of breath or sudden changes in taste or smell,
please
cancel
your reservation for that day.
If you arrive together, ride together
Those who have carpooled together to the mountain are asked to ride

Exemptions to the mask requirement will not be accepted. Skiing and snowboarding are not considered essential activities and therefore do not fall under the protections of the ADA or medical exemptions.
What to Expect This Season
Winter 2020/21 Season Pass Refund Policy:
Bridger Bowl has updated our refund policy for this year to give
you some peace of mind when purchasing a pass. If you decide to
request a refund on your pass, for any reason, before November
20th, Bridger Bowl will honor your request (minus a $20 per
transaction fee) with no questions asked as long as the request is
made prior to, or on, that date.
Winter 2020/21 Season Pass Guarantee:
After November 20th, Bridger Bowl will offer a prorated
credit toward a 2021/22 season pass due to a mandated closure,
stay at home order due to COVID-19, or other pandemic related
circumstances, (i.e. – a pandemic or COVID shutdown due to a
breakout). Weather, mechanical or electrical issues are standard
operating risks and will not be considered pandemic related for
credit purposes. All credits will be based on posted open and
closing dates (Dec. 04 – Apr. 04), and the purchase price of your
pass. Best practices for this season will include operating at
reduced capacity and under a strict
“Reservations Required” protocol.
Repeated no shows within the reservation system will count as
days skied and will be applied to any pass credit as days
skied.
That said, we all hope that it will not come to that.
Over the past couple of weeks, we have heard you, understand your concerns, and very much appreciate the outpouring of support for all of the hard work we have put in to ensure Bridger Bowl opens for our community. With that said, and based on very solid pre-season pass sales, we will indefinitely suspend further season pass sales as of Monday, October 26, 2020. The safety and comfort of our employees and guests is our utmost priority. We will, however, continue to sell pass products not affected by pre-season prices which include Preschool, Child, Senior, Senior Midweek and Super Senior Passes for the next week. We plead with our community to understand this decision does not come lightly and other opportunities to join us will be available as the season approaches. We are happy to open sales of our new Any Day Pack, which allows for 3-5 days of skiing or riding, may be used any day during the season, and has no holiday blackouts. In regard to COVID-19 as we assess current transmission rates and what this season will ultimately look like, we want to thank you for your patience and loyalty.
With reservations being required for all skiing and riding this season due to the pandemic, all of you have been asking for numbers. At this time, reservations will open online as far as three (3) days out, at bridgerbowl.com. The total number of reservations available will be based on previous years daily averages with a “COVID margin”. Our goal is that our passholders have ample opportunity to join us this season with as few roadblocks as possible. We will be allocating 80 percent, and occasionally more, of reservations to Season Passholders on a daily basis. The remaining 20 percent will be split between tickets and local groups. Additionally, an opportunity to reserve last minute spots that have not been utilized by these other groups will open to Season Passholders the evening before.
Out of social responsibility to our community, we need to limit the number of people on the mountain due to the pandemic and we ask you to use or cancel your reservations if you can’t make it so our friends and neighbors have a fair chance to ski this season as well. Our new scanners allow us to monitor and confirm no-shows, and if two reservations are made and folks don’t show up to use them, we will be reaching out to you with gentle reminders to please show up or let us know ahead of time so we can open that spot up for others in our community. If there is a third no-show it will count towards any credits for the 2021-22 season if we have to shut down again due to COVID-19. More information on specifics to book a reservation will be released in plenty of time before spots are opened up.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these uncertain times. We are working hard to do the very best we can to open, and stay open, while giving our community the opportunity to enjoy the mountain this winter. We are all in this together.

2020/21 Community Commitment Policy
Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and our commitment to best serve our guests, Bridger Bowl has made advances and adjustments to our season passes, policies and buying process.
All pass/ticket products may be subject to social distancing standards. In the event daily guest allowance (number of people allowed on mountain at one time) restrictions become necessary for the 2020/21 season, announcements and details will be released at that time.
2019/20 COVID-19 Credit Policies:
There is still no access to the base area lodges until further notice as we are trying to keep our employees safe and healthy by not permitting them to work on-site. Seasonal locker holders will not be required to clean out lockers this year and should check the website for the most up to date information on access.
Bridger Bowl closed for the season Sunday, March 15, 2020 at noon. Although there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at Bridger Bowl, we closed in order to do our part in limiting the spread of the virus. After careful consideration, we concluded that closing for the season was the way we could help to protect the health of our guests and employees.
We at Bridger Bowl are skiers and snowboarders at heart, we are members of our vibrant community and we understand how this impacts our staff, and our community and visitors from afar. This decision was not made lightly, our commitment to safety is of utmost importance.
Given the extenuating circumstances related to COVID-19, we have relaxed our cancellation policies for online tickets and lodging reservations. Please email skitrip@bridgerbowl.com with inquiries.
