This slight bit of pedaling keeps most other riders off of Otter Slide, meaning that even on a busy day, you might not see a single other rider on this trail. That also means Otter Slide is a beautifully-packed trail with almost no braking bumps or trail wear. It's a real gem that's worth the work to access it.

Otter Slide is arguably the next step up in Big Sky's progression from Happy Hooves. This fantastic flow trail offers high-speed descending, delightful banked berms, and fantastic jumps.

The jumps overall are a bit smaller than those found on Snake Charmer, but the features here seem a bit more creative. You'll encounter high speed back-to-back berms, tabletop jumps, small hips, and long-distance booters. The ride down Otter Slide is diverse and entertaining. This trail is a true gem for intermediate riders and advanced mountain bikers alike.

Don't overlook Otter Slide when you visit Big Sky—be sure to put in the time to check it out!
