The new Bridger Ski Foundation Headquarters build is taking shape! As we bring this vision to life, we're incorporating some fun "ski" themed touches throughout the building—including a ski pole railing and outdoor light bollards crafted from old skis.

To make this happen, we need your help! We're looking for donations of ski poles, skis, and snowboards that can become part of our new home. We're also hoping to gather treasured photos and memorabilia that celebrate BSF's incredible 90-year legacy and deserve a special place in our new space. 

What we’re looking for:

Skis: Any type. Single or pairs. A few snowboards are needed too! 

Poles: Looking for standard ski poles. (No kids poles. No lightweight Nordic poles.) 

Memorabilia: Photos and keepsakes that tell the story of BSF’s 90-year legacy. Remember, we've gone by several names over the years, with various ski clubs merging, so anything connected to Bozeman's ski teams is welcome! For photos, we'll need printed copies or high-resolution digital files. A short description with each item helps us preserve the stories behind them.

Drop off your items: 

  • At the Bridger Ops office (our accounting team works here): 105 E. Oak St., Suite 2B, Bozeman during regular business hours. 
  • Or you can drop off at the Owenhouse Ace Hardware West (8695 Huffine lane), basement entrance, on the following Wednesdays, when they loan BSF staff use of their conference room. 9 am - Noon, January 28, Feb 4, Feb 11. (This is at the back of the building, the door to the left of the garage door.) 

Donor Naming Opportunities

Want to leave a lasting legacy? We’re offering recognition opportunities that include your name (or the name of someone special):

Ski Poles: Donate $1,000 to Build the Base and get your name (or a family name or in memoriam) on a ski pole placed on the railing. 

Light Bollards: Donate $5,000 to Build the Base and get your name (or a family name or in memoriam) engraved on a light bollard. 

*There is also a family legacy wall. To learn more, reach out to vanessa.skelton@bridgerskifoundation.org
