New Trail PSA: Meadow Connector in Big Sky
We are putting the final touches on the new Mountain to Meadow connector trail here in Big Sky. Not 100% buffed yet but close enough to start talking about it on the Internet.
It will blow your fucking mind. No need to elaborate. Come ride it and see.

Is this the one that loops around Bighorn and comes out at the bottom of the Poop Chute ? I saw the junction the other day and wondered where it came from.

Yes, it is about to hit a couple of epic rides in the White Clouds between Challis and Stanley. Bummer for sure. Ride Ant's Basin and Castle Divide while you can. Will have to make it down to Big Sky to check out the new XC trails for sure, but there's no replacing big backcountry rides like the ones about to be lost.
Buy the ticket...take the ride.

New Trail PSA: Meadow Connector in Big Sky
Ok I'll elaborate. Yeah I work for Pete at Terraflow. Put a lot of sweat and blood and piss into this trail and the team and everyone is waaaay stoked how it has turned out.
Access from Upper South Fork Trail at the resort, which Pete also built, so the climb is actually pretty fun and short. Upper South Fork merges pretty seamlessly at an old service road, you'll see it. This junction is pretty much at the top of Flatiron. Look for the rock smiley face.
From there, drop your seat and hang on. Spits you out at the bottom of the poop chute one hell of a ride later. Depending on your pace and if you stop to Instagram every rad feature it's a 1-2 hour lap.
Ride the road to the right or the single trail to the left to west fork meadow. Beers at the Brothel. Shuttle or ride up the poop chute. Repeat.
Enjoy it!
Also, looking for a LP Revenge registration for Sunday. On the wait list, but doing what I can to put feelers out there.

Rad, dude. I used to work summers in the meadow and on the mountain. Wish something like this were around back then!
My main deal was playboating on the Gallatin every day after work. My buddy worked in Gateway... we would meet in the middle, drop a car for the shuttle, and run from the bridge to Stormcastle.
Congrats on the trail. Post up some discrete photographs!

Awesome. Been hitting some short sections of new trail up there. So much new trail everywhere and hardly ever anyone around. Been doing lazy man shuttles with my buddy from phone company.

Sorry for more thread drift but...
Ride Ant's Basin and Castle Divide while you can.
The White Clouds are closed to mtn biking immediately and signs are going up within a month. Don't worry though, a bunch of do gooders can pat themselves on the back and feel morally superior to you, all while accomplishing absolutely nothing. Except depriving a major user group that harms nothing of one of the best and most "sustainable" recreational opportunities the lower 48 has to offer. In a National Fucking Recreation Area no less, that was already protected. A national monument that would have allowed bikes on basically one fucking trail wasn't good enough for Dear Leader and The Party I guess. Fuck em all. And fuck the do gooder hippie douchebags, they are all a bunch of selfish assholes who won't be happy until everyone but them are banned form everywhere with a trout and a fucking tree.
Sorry guys. I love that new trails are being built. I even like flow trails. I love it all, it is just the dumbest fucking thing in the first world that they are banning bikes in these places.

Tone that was a fine rant and on point.
I just got back from the really big and tied together a bunch of single track that has been built over the past couple of years. A lot of it by Pete and Regct and the Terraflow crew. Kudos, the Meadow/Mountain is really good and when it smooths out a bit it will be even better. The down side is a lot of the trails I rode today are signed "Owners and their Guests only". Well I do know some owners so I guess I am their guest.
That all being said, new trails don't replace the big adventure trails. We have lost so much access to big epic wild rides in Montana that now I have the attitude of Fuckem, I will ride what I want.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
