Mountain to Meadow Projects
Donations of $25+ are entered into a two prize giveaway sponsored by Bangtail bikes, Specialized, and Jambo Designs! See newsletter/social media for details.
Together, the Green Circle Trail and the Jump Line, have an estimated project cost of $222,350. Thanks to the many donations from Big Sky trail advocates and funding partners, we are $149,138 (67%) funded as of July 22nd.
Every dollar counts - for every $20 donated, 2 linear feet of trail can be built!
Green Circle Trail
The Green Mountain to Meadow Trail is a 3.5-mile, multi-use family-friendly trail that will enhance connectivity and accessibility for hikers, runners, and mountain bikers of all skill levels in Big Sky. Running parallel to the existing Mountain to Meadow trail, this new route offers a safer, more inclusive alternative—especially for beginners and families. The same trail builder of the recently revamped Mountain to Meadow trail, TerraFlow Trails, with construct this new trail over 8–10 weeks, with completion targeted for August 2025. The trail improves uphill travel and addresses safety concerns caused by speed and skill differences between riders on the existing Mountain to Meadow trail. Identified as a priority by SWMMBA Big Sky, this trail fills a critical gap in the trail system between Big Sky Resort and Town Center.
This project also promotes environmental stewardship through sustainable construction and long-term volunteer maintenance. The trail will integrate with Mountain to Meadow and Huff’s Trek, using existing infrastructure and trailhead parking. Supported by SWMMBA and BSCO's Parks and Trails team, this project reflects a community-driven effort to improve trail safety, expand recreation opportunities, and strengthen Big Sky’s trail network.
Trail building for the new Green Mountain to Meadow trail has begun!
Trail specifications will generally be as follows: 18,480 linear feet of trail (3.5 miles), an average width of 72”, average grade of 5.5%, minimal switchback corners, gentle berms, long radius rollers, gentle tread outslope and minimal surface rock. All of these features will create what is a true beginner flow trail.

Jump Line
In addition to the new Green Circle trail, a progressive seven feature jump line has been added to the end of the existing Mountain to Meadow Trail. The TerraFlow Trails crew have completed this project and the MTM Jump Line is open for business!!
These jumps are big, so please be sure to check them out before hitting them at full speed, and DO NOT ride the jumps when they’re wet. We spent a lot of time and money on these jumps, and want them to last!
There is a boot pack about 50 yards up from the bottom of MTM - please use this for all uphill traffic when sessioning the jumps. This keeps IBS and MTM clear for all downhill traffic.
Huge thank you to all the Big Sky volunteers for showing up at trail days in May and June. We could not have finished these jumps without you guys!
