Our single-track trails feature several man-made and natural obstacles including bridging ride-overs, step-ups, down-ladder bridges, table-tops, launches of varying intensity and depth, hip and wall rides, switchback berms and assist bridges, and a signature log ride created by Wild Bill Markham.

Mountain Biking Safety
Cyclists, like all mountain users, should always be alert to the risks inherent in their sport. Responsible behavior and good judgment are essential for you to safely enjoy mountain biking at Catamount. Remember that the mountain environment poses potential hazards. Rocks, logs and other natural and man-made obstacles may be encountered suddenly and without warning. Be especially careful of waterbars (ditches or mounds placed throughout the mountain to control erosion), snowmaking towers, water and air supply pipes, and lift tower footings. They may be visible or hidden by grass and should be approached slowly and cautiously.
A first-aid kit should be carried at all times, sufficiently stocked to treat cuts, sprains and bruises, the typical mountain bike injuries. Sunscreen, insect repellent and plenty of water are also recommended.
Check your equipment before riding to make sure it is fully functional to help prevent accidents. Check your fittings, brakes, tire pressure, and make sure that your helmet is the correct size.
