Anyone for a Hike?

Only sixteen miles from the world class ski area that is Bridger Bowl and 45 miles from the base of magnificent Lone Mountain, which houses Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin Resort, Bozeman is a mecca for backcountry skiers and snowboarders.

The new Schlasman's chairlift at Bridger Bowl, which opened this winter, provides easier access to the legendary Ridge terrain that the resort is known for. Local authors Tavis Campbell and Sam Cox released the second edition of their handy guide to The Ridge titled Stepping Up.

Stepping Up is a detailed account fo the prominent lines at Bridger Bowl. The book is chock-full of photos, maps and descriptions. Areas of interest in clued The Ridge, High Traverse and The Fingers. This is a must have for Ridge Hippies and novices alike.

Copies of Stepping Up are available at the MSU Bookstore both in-store and online. More information about the book is available at the book's website: www.stepping-up.net
