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!
