Frequently Asked Questions:

 

 

Q: Is it hard to learn how to ride a Snowbike®?

A: No! It's easy to learn and fun to ride! While some activities on the mountain require a little more effort, this requires a little less than others. That being said all mountain activities take place at high altitude. Make certain you are healthy enough for physical activity in a thin air environment. In preparation for your high altitude adventure make sure you are well rested and hydrated.

 

Q: How do I ride a Snowbike®?

A: That's what we'll teach you during the lesson! Basically it is like this: look left to go left, look right to go right. (How to Ride video) and (How to Ride Printable)

 

Q: How do I stop?

A: By skidding . We'll teach you to turn the bike to the side and use the edges of your skis to grab the

snow. Just like skiing and snowboarding. (Learn to Turn)
