Bridger Bowl is committed to promoting responsible skiing and snowboarding. Please read the brochure below for more information about skiing and riding responsibly.
Collision Awareness
Collision safety promotes on-hill safety and responsible skiing and riding to reduce the risk of a collision between two or more skiers and riders. Keep the slopes safe and enjoyable by doing these three things every run.
Be Ready
Be ready to slow down or avoid objects or other people at any time. Ski and ride so that you are always
in control regardless of conditions and avoid others and objects you may encounter on the run, groomed
or otherwise.
Stay Alert
Stay alert to what’s going on around you, especially other skiers and riders. Being aware of those around and
changing conditions will help you have a fun and safe day on the hill.
Plan Ahead
Ease up at blind spots, check uphill when merging onto trails and give other skiers plenty
of room when passing. Look out for spots on the run where traffic merges or you can't see what's coming next. If you
are unfamiliar with a run, take it easy the first time down it and make note of places where you'll want to slow
down, such as cat tracks and rollers. Also, give other skiers and riders lots or room, especially if you are passing
them. Space not sped - spread out, slow down and heave fun!
Ride Another Day
Five year-old Elise Johnson was just learning to ski when an out of control rider struck and killed her. Elise's parents, Kelli and Chauncy Johnson, want to help prevent ski and snowboard collisions. The #RideAnotherDay campaign encourages awareness, responsibility and common sense to reduce the risk of on-mountain collisions with the hope that everyone can ride another day.
Terrain Park Safety
Bridger Bowl has two terrain parks accessed from the Sunnyside Lift. Bridger promotes SMART safety to keep our terrain parks a fun and safe place for everyone!
An advanced park is located on upper Sunnyside run with more challenging features and larger jumps. Features change with conditions. A smaller park with a series of rails, boxes and jumps is located on the lower part of Sunnyside run.
Tree Well & Deep Snow Safety
Become educated on how to reduce the risk of snow immersion suffocation hazards through action and awareness. ALWAYS ski or ride with a partner within viewing distance.
Ski Area User Operational Requirements and ADA Statement
There are inherent risks in the sport of skiing and use of passenger ropeways. By use of the slopes, trails and lifts at Bridger Bowl, skiers and riders agree to accept these risks.
Beacon Park
Transceiver's are for more than access to the Ridge and Schlasman's—brush up on beacon search skills by practicing at Beacon Park!
This training ground is located between the base of Emil's Mile and the top of Colter's run off of Pierre's Knob. It is free and for everyone, please be respectful of others and the equipment.
Ridge Terrain
Bridger Bowl’s Ridge Terrain presents some of the most challenging skiing and riding within any ski area boundary. Numerous steep chutes, rock cliffs and snow fields which may end in cliffs exist with no hazard markings, no grooming and no marked trails.
An avalanche transceiver (457 khz) is required for all skiers and snowboarders to access Bridger’s Ridge Terrain including riding Schlasman’s Lift.
It is strongly recommended to have a partner, a shovel and expert skiing or snowboarding abilities in addition to knowledge of the terrain before venturing into any of Bridger's designated lift or hike-accessed ridge terrain.
