A snowbike has a bike-style frame, with skis where tires would be. You sit on a long, soft banana seat, and stay upright by using your feet for balance, with short skis attached to ski boots with nonreleasable bindings. Snowbiking requires no pedaling, no climbing and no prior experience on snow.
Despite being seen at only a handful of resorts in Colorado, snowbikes are nothing new. In 1949, Austrian Englebert Brenter invented the “sit ski”, which is now considered the first snowbike. Brenter is still the leading manufacturer of snowbikes built with shaped skis, and rentals are offered at Keystone Mountain Resort. Copper Mountain and A-Basin allow snowbikes on the slopes, whereas Breckenridge does not allow snowbikes.
At Keystone, a two-and-a-half hour lesson and tour is required before a snowbiker can ride a lift on their own. After the lesson, competent snowbikers are given the proper credentials to receive a Keystone snowbiking ID card. You must a license to ride at this resort.
