In the winter, it's
more of the same, but
in a much colder and
snowier fashion, and
with a different range
of sports that involve
the white stuff.
As skiers in a town that
has made many a top-this-or-that list in ski magazines, we are
blessed with two options for amazing skiing. Bridger Bowl, the
community ski area that's a quick 20 minutes from downtown
Bozeman, is known as much for its steep and deep terrain off its
infamous Ridge as it is for hosting the whole family. This is where
Bozemanites flock any day of the week, for powder or hard pack,
spending anywhere from an hour to a full day on the slopes.
I have spent many mornings enjoying the fresh powder, only to
be back at my desk by lunchtime.
For an all day mission, many head up to Big Sky, a world-class
destination ski resort. After joining together with neighboring
Moonlight Basin, this area was just blessed with the title of "Big-
gest Skiing in America," with more skiable terrain than anywhere
else in the U.S.
Oh Bozeman, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: The
mountains, the culture, the rivers, the neighborhoods, the trails,
the downtown, the skiing, the sense of community. I could go on
and on, but I wouldn't want to spoil the secret.
But I guess I already did.
