King & Queen of the Ridge - Feb 3, 2024

Hello Everyone,

Consider this a personal invitation to take part in next Saturday's (February 3) King and Queen event at Bridger Bowl. Do you like to hike? Do you like to ski? Then this event is for you. Hike, ski and raise money for the Friends of the Avalanche Center.

What do the Friends do?  A little of everything: they are our safety net for the government shutdown, they own the website www.mtavalanche.com, they own and maintain 4 weather stations, they educate over 5,000 people a year, they pay for and maintain our snowmobiles, and they financially support the avalanche center. In general, they help us do our job keeping people alive in the backcountry.

This is the Friends of the Avalanche Center’s second biggest fundraiser of the year. Come on out and help us raise money by hiking and skiing laps on the Bridger Ridge. Prizes, camaraderie and a good time is guaranteed. Register with Bridger  to hike in the event, and create a pledge page  to raise funds with your Ridge laps.

We have prizes too:

  • Top 3 individuals who raise the most
  • Family who raises the most
  • 12 & Under individual who raises the most
  • Team who raises the most (Bozeman Hot Springs passes)

If you would rather not hike, but have a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you can donate or pledge per lap here, or text kqdonate' to (406) 302-5086 to get a link to pledge or donate.

We need it all: hikers, skiers, pledgers.

Enjoy the powder!

Doug, Alex, Dave and Ian
