MULTI USE
Be aware that trails and roads on Beaver Creek Mountain are used for many purposes during the summer. Mountain bikes, hikers, motorized vehicles, construction equipment and others may be encountered at any time.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Helmets and sturdy shoes with good tread are recommended at all times. Child carriers or tow-behind bikes are not permitted and all bikes must have two working brakes. All loose clothing, bags or packs should be firmly secured so they do not interfere with the bicycle’s moving parts.
Mountain bikers must always yield to other non-motorized trail users. Should you encounter hikers or horses on any trail, you must yield the right-of-way. Ride on designated trails only and obey all posted signs and warnings. Failure to do so may result in lift ticket and/or pass revocation.
