Gettin Loose at Big Sky Bike Park

The term "Big" does not convey the type of riding you'll encounter at Big Sky Bike Park.  The terrain in steep, loose, and unforgiving.  For the majority of us gravity hungry riders, this is exactly what we're looking for.  Within the first couple runs I burned up a pair of brake pads and the early season symptoms of hand pump had returned. 
With fast laps that seem to bring you straight down the mountain you easily beat your chair down the hill(much to the amusement of the "scenic" chair lift patrons). It wasn't until my third day of riding that I actually felt completely dialed on the terrain.  With moon dust on every corner and loose rocks the size of your fist biting at your tires, being on point was key. 
This type of riding is how downhill was born.  With steep technical descents and plenty of wooden features that bring these trails to another level.  As of yet, Big Sky is the gnarliest, burliest bike park I have ridden.  If you like tire dragging, white knuckle descents with serious freeride features, this is the place to go.
I put together a quick edit with some local rippers, check it out below!

With current work being performed by Terraflow Trail Systems, upgrades are well under way. There latest creation is a flow trail called Otter Slide.  Perfect line if you need a brake from the big mountain riding.  The freshly cut trail was just finishing up when I was here and is riding great.  There are also more trails and current trail improvements planned which will only add to the appeal of this place.  I put together a top to bottom GoPro video below.
