    maybe this isn't the proper place to ask, but what the hell, I will be going to college in another year, and MSU seems to be the ticket, however I have been skiing targhe jackson and the tetons for the past 7 years,(since I was 11) and I really don' twant to get the short end of the stick, whats the best way to do this, I am thinking a season pass to brifger and then pre-buy like 10-15 day passes to BS and MLB, is this possible, any advice for hitting this place right would be great, thanx in advance!

    Your best bet cliffhucker is to buy a 6 day Jackson pass for around $180. It's only 4 hrs away and there are always people heading that way. You can also renew it at the same price all season. I go to school at MSU and I skied Jackson more than Bridger this last season. As for BS and Moonlight the Big Sky frequency card is the best bet $35 day tickets to BS, and I think Moonlight has something similar.

    That road has taken years off my life. It's rarely four hours and rarely fun. Worth it though this season...

    Yeah, the last time I came back from Jackson I counted on the road taking 4 hours--which it usually does. Unfortunately the highway to Ashton was completely blown over and closed, which turned into quite the predicament since it was already 10:00pm and I needed to go home to Bozeman, then be in Ennis at 7:00 the next morning. That was a long (short) night.

    But yeah, your best bet is to get the Bridger pass just for convenience, and others depending on how loaded you are and what kind of skiing you want to do. The backcountry access from Bridger is going to be phenomenal next year if you have AT gear.

    I'd go with a bridger pass also, there are always people heading up there, and you can go up after or between class, unlike jackson. Then I would get a pass to moonlight also if you have the cash, or at least a frequency card.

    Sparknotes: Bridger pass and moonlight pass or frequency

    that's why the lift lines are 30 mins on powder days and everything is skied off by 11 am. Don't bother trying to ski between classes it's easy enough to get tuesdays and thursdays off to go up to big sky/moonlight on the weekdays. Bridger is sick but if you're coming from bigger mountains it feels pretty small by the end of the season.

    cliffhucker, if you've been riding Jackson/targ for 7 years, would you really consider making the commute to go back home every weekend? (of course you would, it's jackson.)

    I spent 4 winters at MSU. 3 with a Bridger pass. The other season I spent with a tent. That was the one of the best seasons of my life.

    Crazies, Beartooths, Bridgers... the amount of overnight BC easily accessible from town is phenomenal. (as it is down by Jackson of course.) Just pick a direction, north, east, west, or south, drive for an hour, park, skin, camp.

    As a veteran, I'd suggest a bridger pass for those half-days/storm cycles, and a tent for the weekends/spring.

    Do everything in your power to pull off tues/thrs classes (if it's just core, and you're not picky, this is easy) Then you camp 4 days a week like me and my bro did. We were full-time students who skied Fri-mon.

    Honestly one of the most memorable seasons of my life was spent in B-town without a season pass. Just a reliable partner and a good tent. (a snowmobile would be better, however.)

    elaborate on the 180 dollar six day jackson pass please. Is this specific to MSU, or available to other college students?

    As I understand it the 6 day pass is available to college students in Wyoming and MSU. I helped sell them last year and they told me that they sell them at all the wyoming colleges and at MSU and I think in Idaho as well. The thing is they will only sell them one day at the college and you have to get it then, no phone or internet orders etc... People in Jackson tell me it's the best pass deal Jackson has. They sell the pass in October here and you just have to keep your eyes open for flyers.

    The best value is to get the big sky frequency card (its worth it just for the free days)

    +$375 student season pass at moonlight
    +$350 Bridger midweek pass

    Trust me, you dont want to be at bridger on the weekends

    This thread is tight and really making me miss Bridger. I left Bozeman about 5 years ago and haven't been back since, big mistake on my part. Gonna have to make a trek back to the MT next season, BTW...the Cheese Steak at the PB does not suck! Will give you some uncomparable gut-rot though.
    Is it winter yet?

    Psshhhhhh, the lift lines are 30 minutes on hardpack weekdays! Not to mention there's more terrain variation on Liberty Bowl than the entire ridge.

    Yeah, sounds like its no too bad, too all you who think you have it made though, shit, your fantastic 400 inches was our shithole last season, we are pushing 550 at the Ghee and 600 at Jackson, where the hell do you think you are? Sorry but the Tetons are in fact the holy land, stomping grounds of the great, even saturadaze are empty, our snow is lighter than anything, how can you beat it? HOW!
    Just kidding enjoy Bozeman, our moountains are sissy mole hills with no local vibe at all.
    Thanx for your advice guys, I'm trying to sell myself on MT, but it is difficult, I already live in a wonderland, I'm a Jr. In HS. and I ski 50 + days a season, living of parents etc. Oh well.

    Don't count out Bridger and the area. There's enough stuff here to make your young asshole pucker.

    Remember that Bridger has a pretty sweet pedigree with Tom Jungst, Doug Coombs and The Gaffney's

    Ya it sounds great. can i ditch my $200 a month rent and $500 season pass and live with YOUR mom, get her to pay for a $1800 season pass(as much as my first car) and stay at her house for free. it does sound like a sick setup
