Prices of Most Expensive Outdoor Gear

Ah, the Bozeman 'Dude Man Bro'. They can be found almost everywhere in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts at their core, with a particular segment of the species having copious amounts of money to fund their every sporting pursuit.

Looking the part might be a bit more important to this specific group than most. And that's understandable, I guess. Most people like to have nice things and cool gear. But it's becoming very expensive to have all the toys a Montana Dude Man Bro needs.

It's interesting to note that most of the incredibly talented men and women outdoor athletes I've known over the years were generally broke - and never had the money for high-end stuff. They were just dedicated.

But that's neither here nor there. We wanted to do an updated price check on all the latest gear, toys, passes, and accessories one might need to fall into that sector of well off Dude Man Bros. So here goes...

Big Sky Resort Gold Season Pass 2025/26: $2,500
Big Sky Resort Black Season Pass 2025/26: $1,750
Bridger Bowl Adult Full Season Pass 2025/26: $930 (when purchased by July 31st)
Very decent All Mountain ski setup: $2,500 (but you can literally spend thousands on brand collaboration special edition foo-foo setups.)
Ski Jacket (Arc'teryx Sabre): $750
REKKIE Smart Snow Goggles: $374

When it comes to ski gear, there are way too many designer brand collaborations out there to list. If you want $1,500 Prada goggles, they exist. Craving $4,500 Bentley branded skis? Sure. But I've never seen anyone who actually lives here using that stuff. Let's continue...

2025 Land Rover Range Rover: $110,000 base price
2025 Toyota Tundra i-Force Max TRD: $73,000 base price
2025 Lexus LX: $107,000 base price
