This downhill bike trail cuts connects Jennis to CMG cutting out an uphill section on Jenni's. Starting just under the Payday chairlift at a switchback mid-way down Jenni's Trail, Loose Moose heads downhill at a mellow grade ensured by the numerous switchbacks. End up at another random switchback on the lower part of CMG (this part of CMG is for downhill biking only) and watch for non-bikers making their way uphill. You'll cross a couple of ski runs, but mostly be riding through aspen woodlands next to the alpine coaster. There are lots of berms, but watch out for ones that are blown out. This trail and CMG do not get much maintenance anymore.

Adaptive Bike Info

      Lower Loose Moose from Jenni’s to CMG is newly renovated and open as of Sept 24. 100% improvement with new flow and berms. Long section of bone shattering rock is gone.

      More challenging than something like smooth-as-butter Jenni's downhill. Tight switchbacks and gravelly in spots. But super-fun if you are a solid intermediate!

      Oh Baby so much brake chatter! Fun to blow through it, but please PCMR, do a little grooming next Spring.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
