Safety & Risk Awareness

Fernie Alpine Resort

MOUNTAIN BIKE SAFETY

Children of 5 years of age & under are not permitted in the bike park. Children between 6 and 12 years of age must be accompanied by a parent / legal guardian (18 years of age or older) or be registered in a Mountain Biking program. The parent or guardian must sign the Bike Park waiver for the Child.

In case you encounter a situation that requires the bike patrol, please contact them at 250-423-2426.

Fernie Alpine Resort follows the Canada West Ski Area Association (CWSAA) bike responsibility code which strongly recommends the use of proper safety gear when Downhill Mountain Biking. The best protection from abrasions are properly fitted full-faced helmet, gloves, long pants, long sleeves, leg armour, arm armour and solid running shoes.  Protective gear is available to rent at the Fernie Alpine Resort Rental Shop.

Be aware of wildlife and report all sightings and encounters to the nearest staff member. Always ensure that your mountain bike is in good working condition, and carry the gear required for minor repairs to your bike, and/or replace a flat tire.  If you are unsure, our repair staff would be happy to assist you.

Please note:  Our staff reserve the right to refuse access based on weather, trail conditions, quality of guest equipment (see below) and/or a combination of these factors.
