Bozeman is the shit.  I was born here though so I'm kind of biased.  MSU is pretty chill too, I have met a lot of cool kids and there is usually some good parties going on.

i dont know much about the school but i lived in Bozeman for a year and a half and really liked it. the town itself is pretty cool, good restaurants and bars and gear stores and coffee shops. great biking trails. and the area around the town is awesome- tons of mountains and trails, kayaking and fishing and climbing. i think its a great area.

If you want to go to a college where you can ski go here. The college is pretty tight and there is always shit going on. The girls are kinda gnar and arnt many but, who cares when you can ski.

Big Sky has huge runs and tons of really sharp rocks.  But yeah, lots of big lines and not many cliffs.

Bridger has  lots of technical terrain and not a ton of good stuff you can access without working for it.  They also get huge storms that Big Sky can't ever match, but the lift lines tend to get big on those days.

The backcountry in the Bridgers, up Hyalite, and around Big Sky is really good. 

Don't come here to ski park.  Occasionally Big Sky's will border mediocrity, but Bridger just has a couple little jibs that would be fun for about an hour on a shitty day.

That's my quick synopsis of the area.  If you need any more information feel free to PM me, all I'm doing is hanging around the house until school starts.

^haha thats awesome     Phone booth's ok, but you should see the tighter shit like Sixth Grade or Saber Slice, the're longer steeper and tighter.  Problem is, they're not filled in yet.


Go to MSU. Once you discover the shit on the ridge you'll never go back.

As soon as you get to the top of the main part of the side step, drop in right above the cliff rope.  There will be a funnel that the snow runs down, and a small outcropping you can stand on on the left side.  Get onto that, jump off, and go straight.  There will be a 5-12' air out the bottom depending on snowpack, and two big boulders in the landing in low snow.  Every time I've gone to do it the snow has been either really tracked or manky, so I can't claim that line yet.
