Bridger Bowl closed yesterday (Tuesday April 10th), however that just means that its time to hang up the skis and pull out the golf clubs or fishing poles.

We saw an impressive amount of snow fall in the mountains of southwestern Montana this past February with accumulations over 85 inches…that’s over 7 feet of snow! And all of that snow was just a preview of the epic 30 inch powder day we had on March 1st. The blue beacon that sits atop the Baxter building in the heart of downtown Bozeman seemed to never quit flashing.

For those of you who don’t know, the beacon is a monument of Bozeman skiing and often a call to hit the slopes and play hooky from work or school. The blue beacon is an old runway strobe light and was installed on the roof of the Baxter building in 1988. The crew at Bridger Bowl remotely activates the beacon when 2 inches or more of snow has fallen within the previous 24 hours.

So, now it’s time to enjoy Montana spring and summer and all of the activities near the Black Bull golf community. There’s tons to do in southwestern Montana, so get out there.
