We recommend purchasing our insurance. Our $25 insurance policy covers up to $500 in damages. Damages beyond $500 will be charged to the customer. Without insurance, all damage to a bike will be charged to the customer. The staff will inspect the bike before and after the day. An estimate for any additional charges due to customer damage will be provided to the customer after the bike is returned and inspected.

Our Spider Mountain Team recommends you start with our FREE Intro to Downhill lesson. This will help you start off on the right foot and help you to progress to the next level. Check out our Mountain Biking for Beginners blog article to learn more about the sport!

There are a few things that you will need to ride Spider Mountain. The first two things are a lift ticket and bike. You can purchase these with the reseve link to the right.

Once you park at the lot in the base area, you can make your way over to the ticket windows. The ticket windows will be located near the bottom of our chair lift, the Texas Eagle. If you were utilizing our FREE Intro to Downhill lesson, the ticket window team member will help to introduce you to your guide. If not, we will direct you in the right direction once you get your lift ticket.

We do recommend for beginners to use a full armor set which includes a chest plate, gloves, elbow pads, and knee pads. We also recommend a full-faced helmet.

If you do not own your own, you can rent our equipment and armor at our rental shop.

The fun of Spider Mountain Bike Park is that we have Texas’ only lift. The lift rises 350 vertical feet and will bring you to the top of our bike park with no effort at all.

Like any sport, mountain biking can be dangerous. However, this is solely based on how much of a risk you take. The best way to begin your biking experience is to follow the proper steps to prepare yourself with the right skills and equipment. The FREE Intro to Downhill Lesson can help give you the proper assistance to ensure that you are prepared and ready to experience the fun of gravity-fueled mountain biking.

The best trail to start with at Spider Mountain is our beginner run, Itsy-Bitsy. This trail will give you a taste of gravity-fueled mountain biking without making it too difficult.

Occasionally the weather gets bad and we have to close Spider Mountain. Rain, lightning, and wind have an impact on whether we can run the lift and open our trails. Unfortunately, we often don’t know what the weather will do or how it affects our trails until the day comes. For example, if the weather predictions show a heavy storm coming, we normally don’t close the mountain the night before. If it’s one thing we know in Texas – the weather can change!

Our mountain operations team determines whether they can open the mountain or not between 6-8 am. Then, the communications team gets the word out via social media and on the website. We do our very best to make the determination early and we thank you for your patience with the process. We know some of you are traveling long distances and are counting on a day at Spider. Our first priority is to keep you safe. If you have questions or are wondering about the weather, please check our website and social media, which we strive to keep updated with the latest on weather delays and closures.

Sometimes, even if the rain stops, the moisture affects our trails so much it makes them slippery, muddy, and unsafe to ride. So while it may be blue skies in the afternoon, our mountain operations team has determined the trails won’t be dried out enough to make riding safe. Again, we appreciate your patience with us and your trust as we make these decisions for your safety.

If the resort is on a delayed opening and or closed due to lighting, rain and other weather conditions that prevent the guest from riding safely on trails and lift, they are to receive a raincheck to use another day if the shut down is before 1pm of the operational day. There are no refunds due to weather conditions.
