MORE AND MORE DOWNHILL TRAILS OPENING ALL THE TIME. COME TAKE A RIDE!


CROSS COUNTRY TRAILS NOW OPEN

Mountain biking in and around the Big Sky area means miles of back country scenery, wildflowers, wildlife, and few human encounters. Ski lift access and forest roads offer off-pavement, out-of-traffic experiences. There are  trails on and around the mountain on which to explore. New beginner and advanced trails are being constructed this summer. Downhillers can also find a plethora of trails to get their thrills on.

We will be updating this page weekly.  For daily on the hour lift updates please contact Big Sky Sports at 406-995-5840.  We'll be working with the riders around the mountain and our knowledgeable staff at Big Sky Sports to provide weekly updates to this section, stay tuned to read more.  If you have stories or photos to add, please send them to lkiland@bigskyresort.com, we'd love to post them to spread the word on the best lift accessed downhill terrain in the region.

July 23, 2008

The snow has finally melted and our biking program is in full swing!  With a 1300 foot vertical, Andesite mountain is quickly turning into a downhiller's dream.  There are currently ten trails open, ranging from beginner friendly to extremely challenging.  If white-knuckeled descents aren't your thing, try one of our two cross-country loops, offering over 7 miles of smooth single-track trail littered with fantastic views.  Visit the friendly staff at Big Sky Sports to get lift tickets, rent bikes and find answers to  any other questions.  Get out and enjoy the ride.  -Mike Griffen

Remember

Prior to using freestyle terrain, it is the riders' responsibility to inspect the terrain, understand that the terrain changes constantly due to weather and use, assume the risk of injury when jumping, and keep control of body and equipment at all times. Please be courteous and respect others, clear the landing areas quickly and ride within your ability.

All of Big Sky's lift accessed mountain biking is intermediate to advanced.  Trails are not patrolled, use at your own risk.  LIMITED BEGINNER TRAILS. EXTREME EXPOSURE.  LOOSE ROCK ROADS.
