Big Sky Resort Single Track Trail Report

Moose Tracks	New section added to our famous beginner trail, riding is smooth and tacky.
Pacifier	Riding good, also smooth and tacky, some dry spots
Africa	With four new smaller kickers added this trail's stoke factor has increased drastically, also the bottom drop has been re-opened and the landing is plush.
Congo	Bank turns are just as good as ever and calling your name.
Revenge (race trail)	The race course is in great shape and rolling fast.
Wounded Knee	Closed but soon to be flagged out and then the excavation of this trail will begin.
Ambush	Trail is buff and tacky, makes for some smooth riding.
Blue Room	Big Sky teamed up with Leverich Canyon trail builders and out came a single track with knee to waist high bank turns and superb fluidity. The black foot option has been re-routed and matches the terrain of Blue Room with a few small jumps.  Blue Room straight through is open and fun, but in rough condition.
War Dance	Still the same trail, gets a bit dry in spots but still one of Big Sky`s favorite single track. Elevator Shaft option is still very difficult but definitely ready to go.
Elk Park	Closed to biking.  With some of the best views in Big Sky this trail makes for great hiking.

Remember

Prior to using freestyle terrain, it is the rider's 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.  Most of Big Sky's mountain bike trails are steep and rocky: personal protective equipment is advised.
