MOUNTAIN BIKING
Mountain bikers must wear helmets and closed-toe shoes. Ride at your own risk. Know and adhere to the Code of Responsibility. Know your limits and progress carefully and safely. Absolutely no uphill riding on downhill trails. Mountain bikers should yield to hikers on shared use trails. Downhill mountain bikers yield to uphill mountain bikers on XC trails. No tailgating while riding uphill. Give other uphill traffic space even if you are a faster climber. Be nice and say, “Hi!” Let other riders know you’re there. Biker’s must stay on designated trails and mountain roads. Mountain bikers yield to hikers regardless of the direction of travel.
Hiking
No hiking is allowed on downhill bike trails. Hiker’s must stay on designated trails and mountain roads. Downhill hikers should yield to uphill hikers.
Chairlifts
Transporting a child in a backpack, front pack, on a lap, or car seat on any chairlift is prohibited. All persons riding a chairlift at Brundage Mountain Resort must have sufficient ability to ride the lift and be familiar with proper loading, riding and unloading practices and behavior. If you are unfamiliar with how to ride the lift ask for assistance. Any person riding the lift must be able to listen, understand and appropriately respond to commands from lift operators and mountain patrol. Lift operators, mountain patrol and Brundage staff may deny service to any guest at their discretion. All guests should use the restraint bar when riding the lift. These policies and decisions are made for the safety of our guests and staff.
Allowed Devices
Children are not allowed to ride on mountain bike trails or mountain roads in bike trailers or bike seats, including shotgun style (front mounted) seats. Strider/balance bikes without pedals are not permitted on trails or mountain roads. Only Class 1, pedal assist, eMTB or hybrid eBikes with a mountain bike configuration are permitted on trails or mountain roads. Bikes with a throttle of any kind are not permitted. One body per bike—no exceptions. We strongly recommend bikes meet the following minimum configuration guidelines: mountain bike frame with mountain bike tires and tread, disc brakes, adjustable seat and suspension. Adaptive devices commercially designed for mountain bike trail use are allowed. Please note not all trails meet IMBA recommendations for adaptive trail design. Please reach out to Guest Services at (208) 634-4151 or email us at [email protected] at least 48 hours in advance so we can discuss how to best accommodate your needs for a particular device or service.
Dog Policy
Brundage is dog-friendly. Please respect our policies so we can all continue to enjoy having our furry friends on the mountain. Dogs must always be on a leash. Dogs are only allowed in designated pet areas and on designated pet-friendly trails including Greenhorn, Thorn Creek, Hammerhead, and the base area amphitheater. Guests must clean up after pets. Do not leave pets unattended, tied to trees or in vehicles. There is no shaded parking. If in doubt, please leave Fido at home for their safety. Dogs are not allowed on the chairlift under any circumstances. This includes service dogs. The only exception is for evacuation-trained patrol dogs.
Other policies
