Current Issues

Information about the areas where BBTC is working to create or enhance mountain biking opportunities.

Recreational Liability Protection

RCW 4.24.210 Liability of owners or others in possession of land and water areas for injuries to recreation users -- Limitation. Washington State has strong language protecting public and private land managers from recreation related liability claims. The liability exposure due to biking is less than most land managers realize. Click here to read the section of RCW.

Saint Edward State Park

There is currently a public process going on at the park to determine land classifications which could impact mountain bike access. Your voice is needed in support of mountain bike access. more info

Olallie

The proposed Olallie mountain bike trail system will offer epic riding just 40 minutes from Seattle on high ridge lines with sweeping views of the valley below.

State Parks is in the process of developing Phase 1, an out and back ride between 4 and 7 miles long. This will eventually connect up to Forest Service land which has the potential for up to 30 miles of trail.read more

I-5 Colonnade

Imagine a place where you can hop on your bike and ride technical mountain bike trails through towering columns, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Now imagine this is a place where it never rains... read more

Tiger Mountain

It is our goal to improve the trails at Tiger enough so that they can remain open year round. This may take several seasons of work, but we're confident it can happen. read more

Paradise Valley Conservation Area

Paradise Valley Conservation Area is an area with over 15 miles of nice trails that has been closed to mountain bikes. We are working to both reopen the trails and to preserve critical salmon habitat. The trails we want to reopen are not in or near critical wetland or riparian areas. read more

Freeride

BBTC is committed to promoting and providing freeride opportunities in our region. There is currently a lack of freeride trails on public and open land, and we are working hard on several opportunties for new trails, and expect to announce at least one new opportunity this year. If you would like to help us with freeride advocacy, please contact us about ways to get involved.

Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail

Mid Fork trail has how been reopened to bikes on odd numbered days during the dry season. BBTC now must ensure bikers comply with the odd-day rule, maintain the trail, and provide educational mountain bike patrols. read more
