Skibiking
Wednesday, December 20, 2006
Just so you'll be prepared when that next big snowstorm hits Missouri:
What do you get when you cross a mountain bike with a snowboard? A whole lot of fun! If you're into riding and like the snow, I highly suggest you check out ski-biking. . . .

My first day on the mountain with the skibike drew an overwhelmingly positive response from everyone that I shared the mountain with. Customers and staff alike. Throughout the day, no less than fifty people approached me and told me it was 'one of the coolest things they'd ever seen'. They also asked how to steer it, stop it and if I could do tricks on it.

I can say without reservation that skibiking is by far the most fun that I've ever had on snow, bar none. I've been skiing for twenty-six years and I can also say that it's the easiest snow-sport that I have ever learned. If you've never tried skibiking; find a mountain that has unrestricted access or restricted access to the intermediate runs and 'go for it'. You'll be carving graceful turns in a matter of runs…not days, weeks, years. It really is that easy. But consider yourself warned: Skibiking is highly addictive!
