AI Summary

  • Creates Chapter 33, Title 6, Idaho Code establishing responsibilities and liabilities for bicyclists, mountain operators, and passengers at mountain areas in Idaho.

  • Mountain operators must maintain trail boards, post safety signs at aerial tramways, and follow American national standards for tramway construction and maintenance; operators are not required to eliminate inherent risks of bicycling.

  • Bicyclists expressly assume all risks associated with bicycling including trail conditions, terrain hazards, collisions, and equipment failure, and are solely responsible for knowing their ability and maintaining control.

  • Passengers using aerial tramways must board only at designated areas, not interfere with tramway operation, use safety devices, and must have sufficient instruction before use.

  • Mountain operators are liable only for failing to meet their specific duties; bicyclists and passengers cannot recover from operators for losses caused by their own duty violations.
