Did You Know Bridger Bowl is 8700 ft Above Sea Level?

Did you know Bridger Bowl is 8700 ft above sea level?

I am not sure the highest elevation I've ever been to, but I am guessing this is one of the top ones. We left home at 0 ft above sea level to arrive at this gorgeous ski area. We loved how it was more about the locals and not a tourist trap. The crowds were low and it just seemed like a great place to spend a ski vacation.

Did You Know Some of my Favorite Sights in Bozeman?

Did you know some of my favorite sights in Bozeman?

It snowed the first night we got there, and we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at the hotel looking out at the snow! We enjoyed seeing the mountains and the snow. There are some gorgeous houses built at the base of the mountains. We saw deer, a mink, and some interesting looking cows. I don't have pictures of everything, but wanted to post some of our favorite sights on the trip.

                                          the beautiful Rocky Mountains

                                           I stayed on the Green trails (except for once when
                                           I got turned around and      
                                           found myself on a Blue)

                                                    one of the ski lifts. This might be the one
                                                    where I knocked my daughter's ski off....

we had great weather the whole time
