Hiking Tips

• Never hike alone
• Be prepared. Mountain weather changes frequently so carry extra clothing.
• Observe all closures. Stay on marked trails to avoid damage to the alpine ecosystem.
• Steep slopes, snow and ice fields are very dangerous. You may encounter various hazards such as cliffs, glaciers, crevasses, rock falls, avalanches and unstable surfaces.
• Treat all wildlife with caution. Do not feed or approach bears.
• Carry water, a snack, sunscreen and a watch. Make note of the last ride down (5:30pm).
• No hiking permitted in the Bike Park.
• Fires, dogs and camping are not allowed.

CAUTION:

• If you encounter avalanche explosives, do not touch and keep well away. Mark the location and report it immediately to any mountain employee.
• Due to fire and environmental concerns, smoking is not permitted while riding the gondola. Smoking on the mountain must be within the designated area at the Roundhouse Lodge.

Bears

• If you see a bear, do not approach him/her. Give the bear time to get away or if he/she approaches, back away slowly.
• While hiking, make a noise occasionally or wear a bell to help prevent surprising an animal.
• Never litter, even biodegradable items such as fruit peels. It only attracts bears and gets them into trouble. These days, bears need our respect and support more than ever, so we can share the mountains with them for generations to come.
