      Such a great trail. It is all rideable so trust it and keep on rolling. Reminds me of Nelson BC.

      This trail is named Scherminator.
      Built and named for our late friend Amy Scherm who loved biking and loved Big Sky.
      If you call it Trapper, you are a clown.

      Loose in spots but an awesome steep old school trail with tons of soft loam. My 9 year old rocked it, so you can too!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
