Trade Risk Guaranty is located in beautiful Bozeman, MT. Part of the allure of locating our main office in Bozeman is the exceptional outdoor fun that can be had year-round. One of the best examples of Bozeman’s cornucopia of fun and adventure is Bridger Bowl, a world-class community ski area located only 15 miles Northeast of town.
Skiing in the Montana Rockies is an inimitable experience because of the mountain range’s unique geography. An arid climate, frigid weather, and sizable distance from the coastline combine forces to form Montana’s legendary “cold smoke” snow, as it is known to locals and visitors. This snow is not like other snow, in the sense that it is almost lighter than air and is resistant to clumping up and packing. The result is an unparalleled experience of gliding through a cloud while only tentatively attached to the ground beneath. Most people are helplessly addicted to the Montana Rockies after their first ride through these fabled snowflakes.
Bridger Bowl is a non-profit ski area, which means that money collected by the organization goes straight back into its infrastructure and expansion. The latest territorial addition is accessed by the Schlasman’s lift, which leads to a section of the mountain that had long been off-limits to pass holders. It offers expert terrain, slope angles as extreme as anyone could ask for, and of course, plenty of deep powder. If Bridger’s terrain isn’t enough draw, the family atmosphere is more than enough excuse to get up there. From the ski school classes to the bustling Jim Bridger Lodge and Deer Park Chalet, Bridger Bowl exudes a sense of community uncommon in other mountain resorts.
That is why several of our employees have returned to this mountain year after year, since their childhood. I have personally enjoyed racing down the slopes of Bridger Bowl since I was three years old, and I am not alone in my love for Bridger Bowl here at TRG. On a given powder day, you might see just about any TRG employee spending one of their personal days amongst the glistening trees and snow-capped mountain peaks.
We are lucky to be located where we are, and we don’t take it for granted. Esprit de Corps is one of TRG’s 8 Core Values, and being part of Bozeman and Bridger Bowl’s communities is definitely being part of something special. The spirit of community and adventure are omnipresent here, and we gladly take part every day.
Bridger Bowl is such an amazing place! I could stare at her snow covered peaks all day long. Bridger is also fun in the summer. You can make a perfect day hike up to the ridge, and then head north to Sacajawea Peak. The view is 360 degrees of breath taking beauty!
ReplyDeleteI think Bridger Bowl actually counts as one of my parental figures at this point--I spent more time there in my childhood than I did at home. Every time I go up, it's like seeing family. I'm eternally grateful to have had Bridger's influence in my life.
