The MAX Zipline

There are currently nine guides who work at Max Zipline. While no previous experience is required to become a tour guide, each guide must complete 30 hours of Association for Challenge Course Technology training before being certified to take participants on the lines.

These Zipline certified guides are responsible for the safety and enjoyment of riders. All participates are initially trained on riding and breaking safety as well the rules of the wire.

After completing the initial training, participants are driven up to the first launch pad. This is the shortest line in the whole tour and you are allowed to go twice to get comfortable before moving on. Each rider then rides three more lines down the mountain, which includes greater speeds, longer ziplines, and more stunning views.

The MAX Zipline Tour features spectacular views of Mount Timpanogos, the Provo River, and Provo Canyon.

The finishing touches were completed by setting the perfect sag, or belly, of each cable and verifying that the percentage of slope in relation to the length was properly adjusted. A dynamometer is still regularly used to check the cable tension and ensure the safety of riders.

All equipment is in compliance with the Association for Challenge Course Technology standards. All MAX Ziplines are dual lines and there has never been a catastrophic accident where two lines were involved.
