Best Sledding Hills in Bozeman – Our Top 5

Peet’s Hill is the most popular sledding location within the Bozeman city limits. Located very close to downtown, you can easily tie in your sledding adventure with downtown shopping, library visit, or lunch downtown. Ignore the protruding grass and various vegetation, once there is one or two more snowfalls the hill becomes completely covered in snow. This hill is the biggest sledding hill in Bozeman and will challenge your cardio. From time to time you will find skiiers and snowboarders using part of the hill to throw some crazy tricks off of jumps at the bottom.

This was my first sledding experience in Bozeman. The hill isn’t extremely steep or long but it is very wide. And being hidden by the trees from the sun, the snow tends to remain well into the late Spring months.

I’ve only ridden my snowboard here but I’ve heard countless stories of people sneaking up there at night and sledding down the main run just past the Jim Bridger Lodge. I wouldn’t recommend trespassing like this but I still wanted to share it in my list of top sledding locations. 

Just West of the Dinosaur Park is a giant man made hill. This hill used to be be a large dirt pile but it is beginning to grow some vegitation and the snow covers it very well in the winter. The North side of it remains in the winter shade and the snow trails remain even when the sun is shining. This is an up in comer that just might steal the top sledding spot in Bozeman.

If you’re stuck on campus studying or in between classes, why not venture to the North side of Montana Hall and sled down to the Bobcat statue by the Chemistry Building? I used to snowskate this hill when I was a freshman but a sled would work just as well. The video to the above is not of Montana Halls hill but a snowskate video to show some pretty good snowskate skills.
