Mountain biking is a healthy but a dangerous sport. It requires a lot of muscle power and stamina in order to take steep climbs and to handle sharp turns. There are a lot of things to be considered when mountain biking esp. if you will be going to unfamiliar territories. So if you are considering going to this kind of areas, you'd better not during wet season or in snow because you didn't know accidents may happen anytime like soil erosion and avalanche. You should expect the unexpected because you don't know about the place.

However, if you know well the area you will be going to then I think it’s just fine. Just make sure you really feel good and strong and you have taken preventive care of your health and that you have the necessary stuffs like clean water and/or water filter and iodine tablets in order to keep yourself hydrated. Of course, your mountain bike and gears should be complete.
