Travel Options to Big Sky and Bridger from Bozeman

It’s ski season!!!! Skiing is a huge part of Bozeman culture. My family used to have a running joke that any time there was a good snowfall the night before, we knew we wouldn’t be able to run errands the next day because all local businesses would be closed. While Bozeman doesn’t shut down for a good ski day anymore, skiing is still a huge draw for people in Bozeman. One of the hardest parts about getting ready for a ski day is the actual trip to the mountain. If you are skiing in Big Sky, you might be aware that the trek from Bozeman to Big Sky is challenging, especially at night and on ice. While the trip from Bozeman to Bridger is a lot less challenging, it may still be relaxing to allow someone else to drive.
