Last weekend, the Bridger Gully Freeride Competition went off at Bridger Bowl, MT. Primarily a local under the radar event - it was a one day throwdown off Bridger's legendary Ridge that pitted skiers and riders against each other in one big mashup. The top three men were:

1. Axel Peterson
2. Henry Worobec
3. Taylor Robinson

And the top three ladies:

1. Kristi Knaub
2. Lucy Sackbauer
3. Rachel Pohl

Snow conditions were amazing considering that the last storm was a week prior. 5" the day before the comp made for a nice soft buffer and the coverage at the mountain is fantastic. Bridger offers some of the best and most affordable steep shredding in the US and staying in Bozeman is awesome.
