Loose Moose is a useful, downhill only connector - not really a destination trail.

Description
This multi-use trail is open for downhill travel only, whether you are a biker, hiker, runner or something else. Starting just under the Payday chairlift at a switchback mid-way down Jenni's Trail, Loose Moose heads downhill at a mellow grade ensured by the numerous switchbacks. End up at another random switchback on the lower part of CMG (this part of CMG is for downhill biking only, but folks on foot can go either direction). You'll cross a couple of ski runs, but mostly be hiking through aspen woodlands next to the alpine coaster.
