Dogs AllowedYes
A hidden gem pioneered by Shane Coolidge around the year 2000 for a bike race. Not really part of the bike park since you have to climb a lot to get back. From the top it ripsttps://www.trailforks.com/trails/rips/]rips[/L] down some tight, flowy, and techy singletrack. A short flat section of doubletrack wraps around to the ski run where the singletrack climbs steadily for awhile before joining Hot Dog where you can either descend to the town of Big Sky or climb back up to Mountain to Meadow, use upper Coolridge//www.trailforks.com/trails/coolridge-931303/]Coolridge[/L] for Mountain to Meadow connection.
