Mountain Bike Responsibility Code

Mountain biking involves elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Please adhere to the responsibility code, and share a safe experience with others.

• Ride in control and within your ability level. You must be able to avoid other people or objects.
• Stay off the lifts and trails if your ability is impaired by drugs, alcohol, or fatigue.
• All riders must wear a helmet. A full face helmet, gloves, and body armour are strongly recommended.
• Inspect your bike or have it checked by a qualified bike mechanic before you ride.
• Be sure to have the physical dexterity, ability, and knowledge to safely load, ride, and unload lifts. Ask the lift attendant for assistance if you need it.
• Be aware of changing conditions on trails and features. Inspect features before use and throughout the day.
• Stay on marked trails. Obey all signs and warnings. Do not cut switchbacks. Keep off closed areas.
• Avoid riders ahead of you. They have the right of way.
• Look uphill and yield to other riders when entering a trail or starting downhill.
• Do not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
• If you are involved in or witness a collision or accident, you must identify yourself to the Bike Patrol.
• Do not feed, provoke, or approach wildlife.

Park privileges will be suspended for breach of this code.
