Hey I will be moving from Washington to Montana whats the riding like there around Helena. I know Big Sky is not to far away. Are the trails around there mostly XC. What is the AM/FR/DH scene like in Montana. I don't mind driving to a trail. Thanks

I actually live in helena, almost everything is xc or all mountain. No DH to speak of unless you head over to the bozeman/big sky area. When you get here i can show you some of the freeride spots and djs. There is something resembling Dh on McDonald Pass but its alot of uphill too

I love Montana, but I am in Great Falls and I don't know where to ride my new DH ride. Is there somewhere closer than big sky to get good trails to text my new bike at.

Big Sky outside of bozeman has a great resort with lift access. There are rumors that Red Lodge might open too.

Well, Red Lodge is out of the question. I hate to have to say this, but it was just that: a rumor. I e-mailed them about the DH photographs they have incorporated into their new website design and they replied as such:

"Unfortunately at this time Red Lodge Mountain is unable to offer lift assisted downhill mountain biking due to forest service safety regulations regarding the lifts. We are required to have safety bars on all chair lifts should we open for the summer. I apologize if the pictures have given the wrong impression we had also hoped to have a downhill mountain bike race in August and due to the new safety regulations are unable to have this event as well.

Our Marketing Department is currently having new photographs taken so that we may take the mountain bike pictures off the website. Again, I apologize for the wrong impression.

You and your friends are still more than welcome to come ride Red Lodge Mountain Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm in a cross country capacity."
