Dust off
your snowshoes, fat bikes and cross-country skis because the winter town trails
are back.
Big Sky
Community Organization is in full swing for its second season of grooming dog-friendly
multi-use trails in Town Center and the Big Sky Community Park in Meadow
Village.
This year’s
trail network looks similar to last year’s, with the addition of connecter
trails along Spruce Cone and Goldenstone. There are a total of 12 maintained
trails covering nearly 14 kilometers to enjoy, with one plowed path (1.6 km)
and 11 groomed (12.2 km), with an additional 8.5 km of four ungroomed trails.
Most of the trails are rated “easy” and provide a great way to get out for a
quick lunch-hour workout or consider adding a few trails together for a longer
tour.
Throughout
the trail network there are several dog waste stations with trash cans, making
it easy to show respect for the trails and fellow users by picking up after
your dog.
These trails
are open to the public free of charge, but there are many behind the scenes
resources that make it happen, from weekly grooming and snowmobile maintenance
to emptying trash cans and stocking dog waste stations. To help off-set these
costs, BSCO has launched a voluntary Trail Partner program. An annual donation
helps BSCO keep Big Sky’s community trails maintained 365 days a year.
Winter trail
maps are available at the BSCO office, Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, Lone
Mountain Ranch and several local businesses. Hope to see you out on the trails
this winter!
