Bridger is a sick mountain all around with a decent park for a local non profit, and the parks at big sky are pretty decent plus sick big mountain too

If your looking for the best slopes, Big Sky is the way to go. They have 9 different parks, great big mountain stuff, and pretty decent groomers. If your willing to drive an hour or take the bus that goes up there it is definitely worth it.

Big sky park isn't bad and bridgers is small but fun. I am a full on park rat and I enjoy the parks here. I have a pass to both mountains, get out of school at 12 and ski Bridger, then ski big sky every weekend.

Where at in Oregon? any college here in oregon besides OSU Cascades and COCC is 1.5-2 hours or more from any mountains. OSU Cascades and COCC are only about 30 minutes away from Bachelor in the city of Bend. I just got accepted to Montana State for next year and am debating on there or U of Utah. I have yet to ski Bridger Bowl but from what i've heard about it, its alot better than Bachelor if you like steeps, chutes, and cliffs which are more of my thing. Bachelor has some dope terrain but not too many cliffs and real drops, just natural jibs and some bigger 60+ feet launch pads.

Bud I could not make it more clear to you that you should look no further. MSU is the shit. Im a freshman and already have 8 solid days in. Bridger is 25 minutes away and it was put in the top 10 most challenging resorts in the USA behind squaw last year. Not only is the terrain good but the vibe is unreal. Everyone here shreds stupid hard and there is a stoke vibe that I have never experienced before (coming from Tahoe). Most people go to Bridger(25 mins) but a lot go to big sky(50 mins). The Bridger park is small but quality, Big Sky on the other hand has a really good park with a lot of variation.

I lived in bozeman for 4 years, went to msu, and now i live in bend. I currently go to COCC and tbh they have a better campus and im enjoying school here more than MSU, and bachelor is pretty damn dope. Honestly, id recommend COCC/OSU in bend over MSU anyday.

If your looking for tech terain bachelor is not the place. Their park is fucking dialed but other then the summit which is open on bluebird days (not a lot) the mtn is kinda flat. I skied 50+ days at bachy last season and also skied at Willamette pass which has some gnarly shit but kinda small.
