This has been newly rebuilt for 2023 and it rips. Huge berms have been put in to keep your speed up, and the trail is super fast. Nice views of the valley as to your left when the trees clear. Some of the original trail is still there in the middle and at the end. But most of the trail has been rebuilt.

Access Info

Take the local bus or shuttle to the Big Sky base area and follow signs to Upper South Fork. Or, shuttle higher to Moonlight Lodge and rip Otter Way or Otter Slide first.
