Skibike Season is Getting Closer - Time to Prepare

The nights are getting cooler in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Frost is starting to appear on car windshields in the morning. One evening last week required putting on a jacket before the sun went down.

In Colorado, this means it's time to remember to renew your ski season pass before the price increases. They are available to purchase right now but around 1-2 weeks after Labor Day Weekend comes the first round of price hikes.

Some ski passes can be purchased or renewed online. Others can only be purchased in-person for first time buyers. Check with the ski resorts' website or Facebook page for information.

If committing to a full season pass isn't in your plans, there is always the option of a 4 Pass or 4-Packs. A Four Pass is a picture pass that allows four days of skiing or riding at the resort. They are non-transferrable. A Four Pack is that - it is a four pack of lift tickets. Just put them on and head to the lift.

Once the ski lifts start spinning - most of these bargain pass offers disappear. Plan ahead now to avoid disappointment.

Looking for a used Lenz Sport ski bike?



by G. Kunkel

Now is the time to buy a used Lenz Sport ski bike. The price will never get any better.

I spoke to Devin a few weeks ago and he wants to clear his inventory of skibikes. He's ready to deal too. He said any skibike in current inventory is $1500.00.

Whether you are looking for a Launch Freestyle, Alpine Brawler, or whatever is hanging around his garage, they're all on sale. Last I looked he had several size bikes on hand. Shoot him an email or post on the Lenz Sport Facebook page to find out what's available.

Most of these skibikes were in the Winter Park Resort rental fleet. They might have some scratches on the paint but the bones are there. Devin has always backed what he's sold.

Devin does ship so if you live on another continent, don't let that stop you. You will not find a better constructed ski bike in my opinion.

When you contact Devin, please tell him I steered you his way. Just mention this blog and he'll know who referred you.

UPDATE: Here is a link to everything Devin has for sale. It includes pictures, models, and sizes
