Mandatory Specific Requirements & Approval Prior to Arrival
Wolf Creek Ski Area is committed to allowing ski bikes for verified medical conditions. Those who have a medical need to use a ski bike should be good, positive ambassadors for adaptive ski biking. Non-verified medical reasons do not constitute the need for an adaptive ski bike or device, and recreational ski biking is prohibited at Wolf Creek Ski Area. We are understanding and supportive of verified medical adaptive skiers, but behavior should reflect that.
