Crosscut closes deal to buy Trapper’s Cabin Ranch south of Big Sky

By Melissa Loveridge; Bozeman Daily Chronicle

Crosscut Mountain Sports Center last week closed on a deal to buy the historic 640-acre Trapper’s Cabin Ranch south of Big Sky, with plans to create year-round outdoor programs serving groups including veterans and at-risk youth while maintaining trails and facilities on the land.

“Our current offerings (in Bridger Canyon) make for these great after-work skis or Saturday morning family mountain biking,” said Jenn Adams, the communications director at Crosscut. “One of our visions with Trapper’s Canyon Ranch is to take the adventure between people and nature to the next level, to provide a little bit more of an immersive Montana experience.”

Crosscut, a nonprofit that owns and maintains a trail system and Nordic ski area in Bridger Canyon, closed on the deal with the longtime owners of the property, the Martin family, on April 30. The Martins have owned the property since purchasing it from Dr. Caroline McGill, a co-founder of the Museum of the Rockies, in the 1960s.

Humbled to be Part of Our Community

Crosscut is a part of so many Bozemanites’ day-to-day routines. We are grateful to be your mountain recreation center, one that is welcoming to all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we were in the midst of hosting the NCAA Championships which abruptly ended as we pondered “now what?” with so many of you. The Crosscut team knew that we had a unique opportunity to be there for the community that has been there for us, day after day.

Employment Opportunity - Assistant Coach

Crosscut is now welcoming applications for a full time assistant biathlon coach. The purpose of this position is to assist current coaching staff in the workload associated with running an Elite/Development Team. In 2020/21, Crosscut ran Nordic programming for over 60 local athletes and received 15 invitations for international competitions.
