## Caption

We are bringing back Fat-Tire Bike Nights at The Trailhead this season starting tonight, January 8th! Riding is ONLY allowed on the snowmaking loop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, and riders cannot ride on any other ski trails during fat-tire biking hours – or at any other time.

- Riders must buy and display an All-Access Ski Trail Pass in order to ride the trails. You can purchase a trail pass at Loppet.org/trailpasses. Note that riders who already have a pass for skiing may use the same pass for riding.
- Like all trail users, bikers must ride under control at all times, and respect other users – be they skiers or bikers. 
- Bikers must follow the one way trail system at all times.
- Purpose-built snow bikes only! Tires must be wider than 3.7” and tire pressure must be less than 10psi, no exceptions. Standard mountain bikes are NOT ALLOWED.
- Bikes and tires must be clean before entering the ski trails. Tracking of dirt debris, and/or lubricant from drivetrains will disrupt the snow deck and is therefore a barrier to entry.
- Any fat-tire biker using the non-lighted portion of the course must ride with a headlight or light attached to the front of their bike.
- Riders will be expected to stay as close to the edge of the deck OPPOSITE SIDE of the classic ski tracks as possible.
- DO NOT ride on/over the classic ski tracks.
- Bikers yield to all other users, Skiers don’t have brakes, so bikers are responsible for staying out of the skiers’ way. And watch skiers’ poles. They can be fragile and expensive and unpredictable – the skiers too.
- On downhills, fast/sharp corners, or passing, bikers and skate skiers should share the trail.
- DO NOT ride more than two abreast. Fat-tire bikers must ride single file when passing skate skiers – or classic skiers not in the track.
- Be a good citizen. If the conditions cause you to leave ruts, exit the trail immediately – don’t just keep riding because the rules say you can. Spread the word about snow biking, make it fun, keep it safe.
- Be an ambassador for the sport – stay polite, educate other bikers, discourage bad behavior, follow the rules, and we’ll all have a good time this winter.
