I'm a mountain rider.
What I carry:
Any tools I might need to work on the sled(pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc).
flashlight
tow rope
extra goggles
extra socks
extra balaclava
extra gloves
trail map
space blanket(one of the best things you can carry, will go a long ways in keeping you warm).
fire starting supplies
soup can
SPOT
GPS
beacon
shovel with saw
probe
compass
knife
removeable handguards
snacks
rag for wiping hands off
stocking cap
I'm sure there's a few things I'm forgetting.
The things I highlighted in bold are critical to have while riding in the mountains IMO.

I may have?
I suppose you could do a search if it is that important to you.
Even if I did I think both new and older members are bound to see things that maybe they should carry with them. I have seen a couple things that members put on their list that I didn't have that are pretty good ideas that I had not thought of.
I'll check and see if I did the same thread before though.
I could not find it. That's not to say there may be a similar thread.
I do pack a quart of oil. noticed I did not have that on my list.

This is a good topic in that how many times are you out riding and realize you forgot to pack something?
This is a good reminder to at the start of the season to hopefully let you keep in mind what you all need.

all the above plus:

If you cant fix it with duct tape, tylnol, or band aids your screwed.
