Fatmap Ridge Map

Has anyone found a way to see the ridge maps in Strava after Fatmap was bought out by them?

According to this link, some features of the old Fatmap will not be carried over:

Do the lifts at Bridger Bowl have safety bars / restraint bars?

Hi all, beginner family of skiers from Australia. We are visiting the USA (specifically Yellowstone area) in Jan 2025 and would love to ski at Bridger Bowl - looks absolutely lovely! Our kids are pretty young and we are definitely used to lifts with safety bars, so just wondering if the beginner lifts at Bridger Bowl have bars or not? Can't find anything conclusive online regarding this either. Just to be mentally prepared.

Cheers thank you!

Looking for help - can't access any of the estore.bridgerbowl pages to buy season passes

Title says it all. When clicking "buy" and accessing any of the estore.bridgerbowl pages, I get a white screen.

Its been a week already and I've contacted them by mail but got no response. Is this issue shared ? Do you manage to access the estore pages ? If somehow anyone could inform their staff about it (I can't call them by phone as I currently am in Europe).

"Powder Days" a book by Heather Hansman

Read this over the weekend and had mixed feelings about it, but she does mention BB quite a bit. It's worth a read just for that if anyone is interested. It is kindof a pessimistic book about being a ski bum and has kindof like some weird underlying base on climate change and stuff.

I came across some of the BB ski bums mentioned in the book 15+ years ago and thought it was cool.

Board recommendation for ridge lines

As the title suggests, what snowboard do you like for the steep and narrow chutes?

My go-to for deeper and/or ridge hiking days has been a hovercraft but sadly I’m afraid it’s done its last rock dance. Thought I’d ask what others have liked before taking advantage of end of season prices. So far I’m considering old faithful (another hovercraft), a jones stratos for quicker/shorter turning ability, or something standard twin shaped but directional.

+1 beer and a Jell-O shot at grizzy for picking the winner

Inconsistencies in trail signage?

I was up skiing a few weeks ago, and noticed some major inconsistencies in the trail maps and the trail signage. For example on Kurt’s, (black off PK) it’s signed as Kurts Corner. There are still signs up for Crosscut, a run that I can’t find on a map, and sets you way far off to the side. Southbound’s sign looks tampered with, possibly from when the run was renamed. And on the map, Freedom and Easy Money are blues, but the symbols are still diamonds from when they were blacks. I know there are more that I can’t think of, but has anyone else noticed this. Anymore anyone else can think of? I’m not calling Bridger Bowl out, I just think they’re fun lil Easter eggs.

Good blacks/blues at bridger?

I was wondering what blacks/blues would be good for an intermediate/advanced skier. I ski well enough but wondering what were some harder blues and easier blacks.

Bridger's 69th Birthday

Just saw it's Bridger's 69th birthday on Friday. Details are sparse on the website though. Has anyone been to one before? Is it a good time and worth a special trip or just added crowds?

Thanks!

Anyone want to get some shred photos?

Here's the sitch; I want to start shooting more ski/snowboard photos again, but I don't know too many people at Bridger yet (this is my 2nd season as a passholder). I used to shoot a good bit when I was in Utah, but have fallen off since moving to Bozeman for work a couple years ago, since I've mostly been riding alone.

I'm down to shoot whatever; I'm a very experienced rider with a full avy kit and avy training, and am more than happy to hike around the Ridge. Also don't mind just cruising side hits, groomer carves, or even hitting the park. Here are a couple of screenshots of some photos I've taken just to give you an idea of how I shoot. Message me if you want to ride/ski and we'll link up!!!

Airport to Bridger Bowl with no car

I am planning a long weekend trip the first week of March. I’m hoping to do it without a car rental.

My plan is to fly into BZN, airport/hotel shuttle to Days Inn on 7th Ave. Walk to the Fairgrounds bus stop to get up to Bridger.

Is this doable? Is the bus to/from Bridger reliable?

Thank you all!
