MULTI-USE TRAIL ETIQUETTE
OGDEN NORDIC Grooms winter trails for HUMAN POWERED use. We have trails specifically for cross country skiers (both Classic and Skate techniques) and separate trails for snowshoeing and fat biking. GROOMING COSTS A LOT OF MONEY, and TIME, so we ask that all users respect the trails and respect other users. The following are guidelines for RESPECTING other users and for SAFETY.
-
ALL USERS: Do not approach wildlife (moose) - if they do not move, turn around or pass giving them wide berth.
-
DIAL 911 for emergencies
-
-
WALKING OR RUNNING without snowshoes is NOT permitted. Footprints left on the trails can be dangerous to other users, can contribute to accidents and are difficult to groom out.
-
Skiers:
-
Yield to downhill traffic and faster skiers
-
Step to the side of the trail when stopping
-
-
Snowshoers:
-
Enjoy the snowshoe trails
-
IF you have to cross the ski trails, avoid the classic ski tracks
-
IF you find yourself on a ski trail, stay off to the far side (opposite of the classic tracks) and find your way back to the snowshoe trails.
-
DO NOT snowshoe down the middle of the ski trail.
-
-
Fat Bikers:
