That’s good for bragging rights. But I wasn’t going to Montana solely for the downhill skiing. I’m greedy. I like all types of skiing.

Mountain biking in Big Sky as a sport is experiencing more growth this summer than in many past years combined. Trails are being cut all over Meadow Village and Mountain Village and the bike buzz is in the air. Terra-Flow has been contracted to construct new trails in Moonlight Basin, Big Sky, and Spanish Peaks. Big Sky Community Corp, in cooperation with Big Sky Town Center, has constructed a series of trails in the hills above Town Center. New bike trails have also been constructed in Yellowstone Club.

The new trails in Mountain Village include the Otter Way trail connecting Big Sky and Moonlight Basin terrain and the Otter Slide downhill trail. The LTD team has had the chance to sample these new trails and they are awesome to say the least.

The villages are growing right before our eyes. Buildings are going up all over the place. There are around 80 front doors, or individual residences currently under construction at the Yellowstone Club. Most of them being ski-in ski-out homes or ski-in ski-out condos. Homes and condos are being constructed all over the meadow.  There is a grocery store, a medical center, and commercial buildings all being built in the Big Sky Town Center.  With all the activity in Big Sky, long-term rentals are hard-to-find. The vacation rental market is experiencing some of its highest levels to date.  Along with all of the construction of homes, condos, and commercial properties, there are a plethora of new trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding being
