Changes due to COVID-19
Dear Mountain Bikers,
During this challenging time, our top priority as a business is the health and safety of our participants and staff. Due to the spread of Covid-19 we have made some changes to our normal business practices as well as updates to our 2020 schedule. We will update this page regularly as the situation continues to develop. We will also send out email updates to those who have signed up for a lesson or clinic in the next few months with any updates or changes.

Social Distancing Policies for Private or Group Lessons
Coaches and participants will be expected to follow social distancing guidelines:
- Maintain a 6 foot distance whenever possible between each rider. There may be times when riders are closer, such as on a chairlift, in a shuttle vehicle, briefly while passing others on a trail, but all riders should be diligent about respecting a safe distance between other riders when circumstances allow.
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer frequently throughout the lesson.
- Cover mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing, then wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
- Do not shake hands, high five or hug. It’s tempting, but please keep the minimum distance.
- Do not touch another person’s bike, equipment, food, or water.
- Coaches will guide each participant to perform their own bike and equipment check. In the event that a coach needs to touch a student’s bike to help with set-up or repair, they will do so at a safe distance from the participant and sanitize properly before and after.
- Please bring a face mask to wear when circumstances dictate that you will be closer than 6 ft from others, such as in a shuttle, on a chairlift or inside a building (including restrooms). In many states, a mask is required to enter any indoor facilities.
