Carnivals, Oktoberfest, chili feeds, raptors and runs. Lots of family-friends options of fun things to do in the Bozeman area this first weekend of October.
Quite frankly, I was happy to have a ski season AT ALL last year even though making reservations was a pain. Bridger Bowl and other ski areas that used a sign-up system to limit traffic, don't expect to be using that this 2021-2022 ski season.
This Saturday, bring 15 cans of food to Bridger Bowl for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and you'll get a voucher for a $25 lift ticket to be used by the end of this ski season.
I had heard reports that dozens of homes in Bridger Canyon were lost over the weekend as a result of the Bridger Foothills Fire near Bozeman. "Dozens" would be a safe estimate, according to Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin.
