8 Worst Things About Living in Bozeman

1. THE FOMO

Fear of missing out on something awesome is real around here. While you may have climbed a mountain over the weekend, when you get back to service you’ll find out that your friends backcountry skied fresh powder and your co-worker caught a 22” brown.

 2. THE TRAFFIC

If you’re from a big city, you’ll laugh at Bozeman’s traffic woes. But for those of us who remember when 19^th was a dirt road, the recent traffic jams have been tough to get used to.

3. THE INDECISION

Do we go climbing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing or rafting? That’s the conversation happening all over town on any given Saturday morning. So much to do, so little time.

4. THE WINTERS

Winter lasts for a good 9 months around here, which is a tough pill for many to swallow. It can be all fun and games for the first several powder days but come May, it’s safe to say everyone is sick of the snow.

5. THE DISTANCE

Getting to any major metropolitan area from Bozeman means a lot of windshield time. In recent years the airport has added a number of direct flights to places like Chicago, New York and Atlanta which is helpful. But the reality is we are hundreds of miles from what you might consider “civilization”.
