Mountain to Meadow Trail
Mountain to Meadow (M2M) is a 4-mile one-way, moderate singletrack trail descending from Big Sky Resort to Meadow Village and Town Center. Designed as a signature flow trail, M2M offers smooth climbing access options and a fast, banked-turn descent through forested hillside terrain.
The trail begins near the base of the Ramcharger Chairlift at Big Sky Resort. Riders can either pedal up via the M2M Climb/Upper South Fork access trail or utilize lift access when Ramcharger is operating. From the top, the trail rolls across ski terrain before exiting the resort boundary and beginning its flowing descent through spruce forest, featuring bermed turns and several tight switchbacks.
Mountain to Meadow is primarily used for downhill mountain biking, though it remains a multi-use trail. Users should expect moderate to heavy downhill traffic when lift access is open. Uphill riders and downhill riders currently share portions of the trail, so awareness and courtesy are essential.
The trail finishes near Meadow Village and connects via neighborhood roads and the Nordic trail system to Big Sky Town Center.

Expect:
- Banked turns
- Fast, rolling sections
- Several sharp switchbacks (control speed to prevent erosion)

The final segment follows Autumn Trail Road and Andesite Road through Meadow Village, reconnecting to Town Center and local trail networks.
