Guidelines for Winter Riding Conditions
- Bikes yield to all other users
- Use snow mobile trails as little as possible, be careful of crossing
- Cross-country Skiers don’t have brakes, so bikes yield to them
- Stay off of groomed Nordic ski trails.
- Respect landowners; only ride on designated fat biking trails
- Tires must be at least 4” tires
- Tire pressure must be less than 10 psi
- Don’t ride if the 24-hour snowfall total is more than 6”
- Allow time for trails to set up after grooming
- Don’t ride if the temp is 30F or above
- As a general rule, if you have to get off and push your bike, the snow is too soft
- Don’t ride if you are post-holing (if your foot is breaking through the snow surface)
- Don’t ride if you are leaving more than a 1” rut
- Be an ambassador for the sport!
