Skibikes love the moguls, trees, terrain parks, jumps, and much more

Most people out on the slopes are so unfamiliar with skibikes that they don't understand what they are capable of unless they see it for themselves. A common misconception that I find is that 'skibkes are only ridden on green slopes'. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Just riding skibkes on easy green ski slopes gets boring pretty quickly. Most skibikers transition to other terrain once they are solid in their stopping and weight placement skills.

In 2007, Team Lenz Sport headed into the moguls, jumps, and terrain parks at Winter Park Resort and Arapahoe Basin. The video below shows how they fared. After watching it, you'll realize skibiking offers the same level abilities as skiing and snowboarding.

Lenz Sport Skibikes goes skibiking in 2008

Back in 2008, Lenz Sport Skibikes traveled to Buttermilk, Snowmass, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Winter Park Resort, and Copper Mountain and documented their activities. In some scenes you'll see some of the Winter X Games banners at Buttermilk.

Peg skibikes are still welcome at all the above Colorado ski resorts except for Copper Mountain. Skibikes were banned from Copper Mountain starting with the 2010-11 ski season.

The below video captures Devin riding in moguls, over jumps, and in the half pipe.

Jason Wilber goes skibiking at Winter Park Resort

In 2008, Jason Wilber and the gang from Lenz Sport Skibikes went skibiking around Winter Park Resort on a powder day. They hit the trees, jumps, and maybe snuck into the terrain park.

Skibike lessons and rentals are now available through the Ski & Ride School at Winter Park Resort. Lessons and a skibike license are required before one can rent a skibike.

Skibikes are currently allowed everywhere but the terrain park at Winter Park Resort. There are plenty of hits and features if you know where to look.

Skibiking on Berthoud Pass - 7 Mile

In the spring of 2010, Devin and a bunch of friends went skibiking on Berthoud Pass near Winter Park Resort in Colorado. Yes, they went backcountry on ski bikes.

After working on their skibike technique at Winter Park Resort, they loaded up the ski bikes and went to the top of the Pass. From the results, I'd say they had alot of fun.
