The Bridger Ski Foundation is looking forward to an exciting 2025-26 ski season!
Now open: Nordic Devo & Comp programs
August 11 (10 am): Devo & Comp for Alpine, Freestyle, Freeski & Freeride and Skimo, & Adult Nordic
Sept 9 (12 pm): returning Nordic Intro skiers & returning Alpine & Freestyle Club Team (formerly known as "Intro")
Sept 10 (12 pm): new Nordic Intro skiers and new Alpine & Freestyle Club Team skiers (formerly "Intro")
October 15: Nordic courses for adults in beginner & intermediate skate skiing and classic
New for 2025-26 - BSF has changed the name of the Alpine & Freestyle Intro program to the Club Team. This better reflects the team atmosphere, the intermediate skiing requirement, and that this team preps skiers for ski club life with any of the older ski teams that we run at Bridger Bowl (Alpine, Freeride, Freeskiing, Freestyle).
Another name change: The BSF Nordic Devo Pro Team is now the Nordic Prep Team and falls under the umbrella of the Nordic Comp program.
We're also introducing a Freeride (Big Mountain) Prep Team - to give kids a bridge between any of our Devo program at Bridger Bowl and getting into Big Mountain skiing.
Plus Freeride (Big Mountain) and Freeride (Park) skiers now have an option for a hybrid program where they can ski with both teams. We saw an opening for park skiers to benefit from getting Big Mountain experience and a chance for Freeride athletes to benefit from more time working on aerials and park skills.
The Skimo program will enter its second year and is introducing two options: A Race Team, which will practice fall & winter, more frequently. The Rec Team will be two days a week in the winter only.
We have reinstated "price will increase after ____ date" for all programs. Ideally, everyone will register before these increase dates so that we can ensure we have the lead time to hire enough coaches!
If you aren’t sure which program is right for your child for next season, now is the time to figure that out. Below, you’ll find a link to the each program's web page (tons of basic info there!), plus a contact for each program if you have questions or want to know if it’s a good fit for your child. Don't hesitate to reach out!
We are all working remotely as we build out our new headquarters; contacting each coach directly is highly advised.

All general BSF financial aid applications are due by October 1.
We remind you that our scholarship committee takes a holistic view when awarding funds, taking into account income, unusual circumstances, financial obligations, and more. We encourage anyone who needs help covering the cost of a program to apply. Our scholarship committee works independently, and no BSF coaches or current parents will view your application.
