I think they can get in the way and can slow down lifts but they’re just out here tryna have fun like the rest of us. Wanted to hear other ppl thought tho

I rode one once they are crazy fun but i hiked one up after the mountain closed for the season. i like them but never relized that at a resort they would cause issues in line and stuff.

buncha guys ride kitted out ones with fox suspension and rlly fancy parts in revy. They honestly don’t slow down lines when people know how to ride them and use the lifts with them. Looks crazy fun when they are popping wheelies and bar spins down the cat track

I’ve seen a few dudes throwing wheelies and hitting jumps on them and I’m fine with those dudes but ski bikes seem to attract a special kind of jerry that is more dangerous than the typical ski/snowboard type

Imagine getting decked by someone out of control on that. Would be brutal

Looks ridiculously fun but there's no way I'm dropping the cash on essentially another mtb rig, that fox fork alone easily runs more than my entire ski setup 😔
