Pass & Ticket Products
Ski area visitation has grown nationwide, prompting many resorts to leave partnerships with individual ski areas and join multi-mountain pass programs. However, Bridger Bowl has chosen to remain independent and does not partner with other ski areas. This decision was made with the intention of prioritizing passholders and community in hopes of preserving the quality of the experience on the hill.
Pass type is determined by age on the day the pass is purchased.
With an Any Day Pack choose to ski/ride any 3 days, there are no blackout dates. This product is non-transferable (same guest must use all 3) and expires at the end of the season along with any unused days.
