The Town Center Loops are your go-to multi-use winter trails here in Big Sky. Dog-, bike- and ski-friendly, this 15-kilometer network of classic groomed trails has something for everyone. These loops are predominantly flat with a couple small hills and several different links that can increase distance, allowing for flexibility on duration and difficulty. Skiers can connect to the golf course Nordic trails along Simkins Drive or to the South Fork Loop along Aspen Leaf Drive for an additional 5 kilometers of trail.
Locals like to explore the Town Center Loops during lunchtime breaks; while exercising with friends, family and pets; and on evening fat bike rides. With several restaurants so close, make sure to schedule some extra time to grab a bite to eat in Town Center or an après drink at Beehive Basin Brewery.
Visitors and residents who are not able to access the Nordic trail system from their home or lodging can park in Town Center behind Lone Peak Cinema and Ousel and Spur Pizza, at Roxy’s Market, or at the intersection of Aspen Leaf Drive and Simkins Drive. Make sure to pick up your annual season pass or a day pass ($20 per day) from one of the following locations: 1) Lone Mountain Ranch 2) Grizzly Outfitters 3) The Hungry Moose 4) Gallatin Alpine Sports 4) East Slope Outdoors.
All proceeds from pass sales go toward the cost of grooming our winter Nordic trail system. A complete map of Big Sky’s 85 kilometers of groomed Nordic trails is available at lonemountainranch.com/winter-things-to-do/nordic-skiing.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
