Ski Areas..
The Ski-Bikers "Where to Ride" Guide
~~Below you will find a list of ski areas believed to be "SkiBike friendly". It is not complete and tends to change. Be sure to get a confirmation before traveling any long distances to ride. Call the resort for further details.
~~If your preference is to ride without foot-skis (considered "foot traffic" by the resorts), be sure to confirm access status, as this varies greatly. When known, we will add a policy notation to the ski area listing.
~~A few resorts require permits (licenses) for skibike access. This is done to ensure that riders have the necessary skills to ride safely. Generally, lessons are required for novices and possibly a "check out" run for experienced riders, at which point a photo certificate will be issued, usually for a fee. This is a one time process, and permits are generally honored at most resorts that have this requirement. A "P" notation in a listing denotes this status.
