Friends On Hill

Friends On Hill was founded with a simple goal: to bring people together and foster new
friendships within the Bozeman community. Our journey began with the idea of offering an
informal opportunity for individuals to connect while enjoying the beauty of the mountains. We
host free, no-sign-up Weekly Community Ride Days where participants can share a chairlift ride
at Bridger Bowl—creating a space for both locals and newcomers to meet and form lasting
relationships.
As we continued to grow, we realized that the joy and camaraderie we shared on the
mountain could be extended to even more individuals—especially those who faced financial
barriers preventing them from experiencing skiing and snowboarding. This realization led us to
become a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and our mission evolved to focus on breaking down
financial obstacles for those who would otherwise be unable to access these experiences.
