Mountain biking offers a wide
range of challenges and adventure, from easy cruising on gentle
slopes to fast single-track descents and rigorous climbs.
Regardless of what type of terrain you select, there are
elements of risk in mountain biking that common sense and
personal awareness can reduce but not eliminate. Help create a
great trail experience for everyone by observing these rules and
precautions.
- Always wear a helmet when riding. Helmets are mandatory
for accessing lifts.
- Stay on designated trails only.
- Maintain control of your speed at all times.
- Know your ability. Ride on trails marked for your
ability. When in doubt, walk.
- Overtake other trail users with caution, and let them
know you are there.
- Anticipate hikers and on-coming bikers at corners or
blind spots.
- Be prepared to stop at any time.
- Bikers should yield the right of way to hikers.
- Downhill traffic should always yield to uphill traffic.
- Be self-sufficient. Our mountain is not patrolled, so
ride with a buddy.
- Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Horses and motorized vehicles are not allowed on
mountain trails.
- Dogs allowed on leashes only, but not on the gondola.
- Pet owners are responsible for picking up after their
pets.
- Avoid service roads as resort maintenance vehicles may
be working.
- Be prepared for unpredictable summer rains and
temperature changes.
- During thunderstorms, stay away from ridges, tall trees
and lift towers.
- Take extra clothing, gloves, sturdy shoes, bike tools
and sunscreen.
- Remember, drink plenty of fluids.
- Mountain biking is a hazardous activity. Risks from
varying terrain and obstacles can cause injury. Please
understand you are using the mountain at your own risk.
