SKI BIKE FAQ

An engineered bike-like device with skis instead of wheels designed to be transported up the hill via a Ski Lift and to navigate downhill on the Ski runs. 

With exceptional stability and the balanced center of gravity, the learning curve is short and much accelerated compared to skiing or snowboarding. Generally, within a few runs you'll be cruising and having fun with very little, if any, "downtime." The geometry of our SKI BIKE and the interface with the SKI BIKE Skis, was specifically designed to make the rider very comfortable while carving down any type of terrain. The initiation of a turn and the principle of a carve are identical whether you are on Skis, a Snowboard or a SKI BIKE!

Yes! The inherent characteristics of the ski bike bike allow you to navigate the mountain with a greater degree of control than with other snow-riding tools. The bikes have been around for 50 years and have an exemplary safety record. 

The SKI BIKE is designed to emulate the curve of the chairlift seat, simply pull up the bike as you sit and the SKI BIKE sits on the chairlift with you.  Some Ski Areas have different requirements for the load/unload process, it is best to call your resort in advance if you are unfamiliar with their requirements.

SKI BIKES are ridden in a biking stance with the same fundamentals as skiing and snowboarding. When traveling down the slope lean the bike sideways, digging the ski edges into the snow to slow down. To fully stop, glide the ski edges across the snow surface until stopped. Skiers and snowboarders will find the same principles of turning, stopping, and carving apply to a SKI BIKE. Click link below to see a video demonstration!

Most of our SKI BIKE customers are able to ride all day and find themselves not as fatigued as a full day of skiing or snowboarding. This is due in to the natural riding position combined with the front and rear suspension doing the work. Many of our customers have previous injuries that preclude them from skiing and/or snowboarding, and have found a SKI BIKE is the answer to getting back on the slopes!
