SW Montana Trails?

[Johkar]

As part of a 2 week vacation we will be spending about 7 days in the Big Sky area. I am looking for
intermediate and advanced trails to ride. Also, we haven't quite made our condo reservations yet,
any recommendations on which valley to stay that has good hiking, biking, and food choices within 30
miles. Best shop for ride info.

Hey John, Check www.mtbr.com and check trail reviews for Montana. It's a great resource. I'm heading
to Bend Oregon for some riding this August and can't wait!

Greg, don't know if I had a conversation with you but I spent a week camping out there last summer
and did a lot of leg work for trails , have links, know the name of the good local trail map etc...
if you want to talk about it at all.

Use anything but the lame information from mtbr.com. The reviews on nthat site are subjective to the
views of any e-tard that wants to call themselves a "mountain biker".

Call the state VCB and have them send you information.

Good point. A trail I reviewed on MTBR a few years back, I rated "advanced." Now I could be
embarrassed by somebody reading my review and riding the trail after the do-gooders and trail-nazis
have sanitized all the good stuff out of it.

Paladin btw, worst winter I ever spent was a summer in Montana...pack a jacket.
