WINTER

Winter. A seasonal trend around here. Get on the boots, throw on the jacket and extra layers, grab your mittens, hat and scarf and get out there to create your own warmth! With the possibilities in the Bozeman area to stay active, being cold should never become an issue. Anyhow, it'll give you an excuse to sit down and cozy up in front of that roaring fire with a hot cup of cocoa when you're all finished.

• Skiing & Snowboarding

  

  Skiers and snowboarders have the run of three world-class destination resorts, all within an hour’s drive, including community-owned Bridger Bowl.

• Ice Skating in Bozeman

  

  Originating over 4,000 years ago in Finland, ice skating has been a favored winter past time for anyone daring enough to strap blades to the bottom of their boots and glide over a giant sheet of ice.

• Snowmobiling around Bozeman

  

  Blast down that mountain side after spending some time climbing it. Why not? These machines are meant to go fast, and a high-flying adventure is what they can give you. The multitude of options for places to take out the snowmobile are astounding when you get out a map and realize just how much forested area is surrounding Bozeman.

• Ice Fishing

  

  A little ice and a negative number on the thermometer never stopped an avid fisherman! On these "strictly seasonal" areas, fishermen will open holes in the ice and use hooks and spears to catch their dinner. Ice fishing locations in Bozeman are limited but they are still popular in town and around the region.

• Sleigh Rides

  

  Under twinkling skies, glide through our snow-covered trees on a path of freshly fallen snow while you sip hot cocoa and listen to sleigh bells jingle. Montana sleigh rides offer winter magic for visitors young and old!

• Nordic Skiing

  

  A Winter Olympic event, Nordic skiing combines the varied terrain of cross-country skiing with ski-jumping. It predates alpine, or downhill skiing and was the first form of skiing to be a Winter Olympic sport. The Bozeman area offers a wide variety of world-class terrain to meet all levels of ability.
