Perhaps a few Mad Max look-alikes stopping in on their way to Sturgis, or the Wild Joe's resident pre-Socratic scholar. And perhaps more pertinent: there are no mine tailings sitting in Ennis Lake waiting to infiltrate our ecosystem if the Madison Dam is released. The Clark Fork? At least Bozeman tucks away two of its cappuccino-oozing bedsores inside other, larger stores. But what were Bozeman planners thinking when they essentially modeled 19th after the Missoula debacle?
This one goes to Zootown for being first in failure. The Bridger Ridge on a powder day is as about as good as it gets. Big Sky's got more snow, way more terrain and, oh yeah, happens to be the best skiing this side of the Alps. And the recent parking ban on I makes the Bozeman Pass climbs much more difficult to access. Reason: Spelling error. My coworkers tell me the coop in Bozeman is really nice. City life vs.
I grew up in Bozeman and I've been going to school in Missoula for three years now. So I know both towns. I think you would like Missoula more but Bozeman is a wonderful town. Here's some stuff to know: -Missoula is the college town hands down. I grew up in Bozeman and there is no college spirit there except on campus and at a couple of random businesses in the town. If you go to Missoula you will be seeing silver and maroon on every building, car, sign and hill.
If you want a college town go to Missoula. If you want a ski town go to Bozeman. This makes since of course because it's larger. I don't fish so, I can't be certain but I know fishing guides from both towns and they seem to be happy with what they've got. Bozeman has new buildings everywhere! You won't have any problems finding a home in Bozeman, IF you can afford it. Missoula has already had it's boom and many buildings could use some renovation.
But the properties are much more affordable. I miss the view when I'm at school. So if you picked Bozeman you would get the view and Yellowstone. Though Bozeman's airport is a lot more fun- it has a very western feel to it.
It has a considerably lower altitude. It snows less and it's considerably warmer than Bozeman in the fall and spring though this is still Montana. It does rain more in Missoula but usually if Missoula is raining then Bozeman is snowing. Missoula is intensely liberal and Bozeman is intensely conservative.
Missoula is liberal as in; you will see real hippies. Bozeman is conservative as in; if someone's gay they better keep it to themselves. I had something short of a culture shock when I came to Missoula from Bozeman. I personally think that Missoula sounds like a better fit for you. But both places have great aspects.
I hope this helped! I'm probably a bit too late on this since you may have already made your decision, but: I think Missoula sounds like a better fit for you guys. As far as live music goes, Missoula has Bozeman beat by a long shot. There is definitely more of a college atmosphere here than in Bozeman. I don't fly fish, but I know people in Missoula that do. Missoula has some taller buildings and a more city-feeling downtown.
And downtown is right on the river as well. I used to go to awesome shows multiple times a week in Missoula. In Bozeman I was lucky if I got one good one a month. Missoula is prettier to me.
Don't get me wrong, Bozeman is pretty too, but Missoula will always be my preference. If you are going into forestry or related majors, UM is the way to go. I only transferred to MSU because I switched to engineering. Hope this helps, and I really don't think you could go wrong with either one.
Family lives in Bozeman. The skiing is way better in Bozeman if you want to really shred hard. That's a priority for a fair portion of Bozemanites.
