Helmets must be worn by all riders. Full-face helmets, along with knee and elbow pads, and other available body protection are recommended. Mt. Abram currently has normal half-shell helmets for rent, and knee and elbow pads for sale.
Bicycles must have at least one hand brake and be appropriate for use on mountain bike trails. Disc brakes are recommended, along with front and rear suspension. If you are unsure if your bike is appropriate, we have a fleet of modern mountain bikes available for rent.
Minimum tire size for lift access is 20 inches. 16” bikes may be used on Ally’s Alley and Moosylvania, accessible from the base area.
Our chair lift can accommodate tire widths up to about 4.5” depending on the particular tire and its construction. Any equipment that does not properly fit on our chairlift bike carriers will not be allowed on the lift.
E-bikes are not allowed on the chairlift but are welcome to use our Uphill Trail to access the downhill trails. Please ride responsibly and tread lightly on our uphill trail. Only pedal assist Class 1 & 3 E Bikes are allowed.
Unicycles are allowed if the rider’s ability does not pose a major risk or inconvenience to other riders and the flow of traffic. They must be fixed gear or have brakes.
Our bike trails are designed for single riders riding single bikes. Tag-along (tow behind) bikes are not allowed at the bike park, nor are alternative child carriers that put more than one person on a bike. Tandem bicycles are also not permitted.
Any other cycle, vehicle or apparatus for use on our chairlift and/or trails will not be allowed unless cleared with Patrol, the Lifts Department and the General Manager.
Anyone with equipment or skills posing an unnecessary risk for other riders will not be allowed to ride at the bike park.
