  1. Hey,

    Mt Washington Ski Resort on Vancouver Island, BC, is working out their
    policy on unicycles for next summer. I'd like to provide them with a
    list of other ski areas that allow unicycles.

    Thanks for any help.

    Cheers,

    Kris Holm

  2. I know that Northstar at Tahoe allows Unicyclists to ride. In fact,
    CMW's and a few smaller meets have been held there.

  3. A group of us from MN have been going up to 'Lutsen Ski Resort'
    (http://www.lutsen.com/) once a year for 4 years now. Never a problem
    with them allowing us to ride there.

  5. 'Gunstock' (http://www.gunstock.com) in Gilford, NH allows unicyclists
    but you have to hike the trails just as the bikers do. I doubt they
    allow them on the slopes once the snow comes though.

  6. Copper Mountain. CO, Telluride, CO, Big Sky MT., Beaver Creek, CO.,
    Breckenridge, CO. have all allowed unicyclists. Winter Park let us ride
    down but not use the lift.

    can you see the flag rising up beyond the smoke
    of dying authors burning books there was a problem with what they
    wrote
    the flag is hard to read because all flags start to look the same
    when covered with the blood of the faithless and insane

  9. The Summit at Snoqualmie was the site of national MUni championships in
    1999 and the world championships in 2002. Not sure the exact name of
    the resort.

    Lasst year the whole crew from NAUCC rode down Snowbird in Utah. I
    think that was their first-ever time having unicycles on their trails.
    My pictures of that start here:

    As for Northstar, yes they hosted us for three MUni Weekends ('97,
    '2000 and 2004) where they knew we were coming, and even helped out
    with organizational stuff, discounts and hospitality. They like us.
    Have your mountain reference my web site for further info, or contact
    Northstar directly.

    I think that is the exact name, although The Summit no longer allows
    riding, or at least no longer has lift-serviced riding. But that's not
    limited to unicycles...they discontinued it for mountain bikes also.

  12. Whakapapa Ski Area, Mt Ruepehu, NZ

    They were cool with us taking our MUni's on the chairlifts etc. but I
    don't think they have any unicycle specific legislation in place.

  13. Marble Mountain here in western Newfoundland let me ride up the lifts
    and uni down on a slow day last February. The people I dealt with
    didn't seem to have a problem with a unicyclist on the slopes, but I
    don't know if they have an official policy on the matter, yea or nay.

  17. Thanks a lot- I'll send them a big list.

    Last summer Mt. Washington had a ridiculous rule that unicycles without
    brakes were not allowed, but that has been cleared up now.

  18. Snow World in Landgraaf, The Netherlands, has accepted a unicycling
    event as a one-off. We could use their lift too. They are an indoor
    ski resort.

    (I've got some pics at
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/muniweekend04.htm )

  19. This summer I went and rode at Whistler. They let me on the lift, then a
    "Saftey Manager" came up and made me sit around for a while, and then
    they took pictures of me riding their terrain/skills park. It appears
    they have no policy either way, so the let me ride without further
    question.

    We have had similar problems with ski areas in Colorado, mostly the
    ones owed or operated by Vail Associates. People don't seem to
    understand how unicycles work (no freewheel = no need for a brake). I
    would be interested in the details of your discussions because we would
    like to mount a campaign to get access to any resort that allows
    bicycles.
