The new Hot Dog trail offers something missing from most shuttle zones
via Singletracks Mountain Bike News

New Big Sky novice-level mountain bike path, Hot Dog, provides beginners with free shuttle access to a downhill riding experience previously reserved for more experienced cyclists.
This new 3.5-mile flow trail in Big Sky offers a rare beginner-friendly option for riders looking to use the free Skyline Bus shuttle. It runs parallel to the popular Mountain to Meadow trail but features a more mellow grade and wider turns to help newcomers build confidence. Local groups like the Trail Dogs developed the route to create a progression path, allowing families and novices to enjoy a long descent before moving on to more technical terrain.
