SNO-GO bikes are designed with a built-in chairlift hook, making loading simple and easy. You approach the chairlift just like you would on skis or a snowboard.

As the chair comes in, place your feet on the outside of the bike, sit down first, and let the chair scoop underneath the SNO-GO chairlift hook. The bike will lift smoothly and sit securely between your legs during the ride up.

If it’s your first time riding a SNO-GO, we recommend not loading with a completely full chair so you have a little extra room. You can also ask the lift attendant to slow the lift down if you’re feeling nervous. They’re very familiar with SNO-GO bikes and happy to help.

For a visual walkthrough, be sure to watch the tutorial video before your first ride.

Snowboarding boots are highly recommended. SNO-GO bikes are designed to work best with snowboarding boots and provide the most control, comfort, and security while riding.

You can get away with a good pair of winter boots, but they are more likely to slip out and won’t feel as stable as snowboard boots.

Ski boots are not allowed and will not work with SNO-GO bikes.

We offer two pickup options: standard delivery and vacation rental delivery.

With vacation rental delivery, we bring the SNO-GO directly to where you’re staying, either the night before or the day of your rental.

With standard delivery, pickup locations are on the mountain at each resort, typically near the main lift area. In many cases, bikes are securely locked with a combination bike lock and waiting for you when you arrive.

Yes! SNO-GO bikes fit inside gondolas and are designed to be transported up the mountain. When loading, keep the bike standing vertically (straight up and down) as you enter the gondola. Once inside, slide the rear skis underneath the bench and lean the front ski gently against the gondola wall to keep the bike secure during the ride.

If you're unsure how to load your SNO-GO or need an extra hand, don't worry. Lift attendants are familiar with SNO-GOs and are happy to assist you with loading or slow the gondola down to make boarding easier. Most riders find the process quick and easy after their first ride.

For many people, yes. Ski biking has a stable three ski trike design, and the rear skis are connected and move in unison, making it harder to catch an edge. Many riders find it intuitive, similar to riding a bike.

Many riders with previous ACL injuries find SNO-GO bikes more comfortable than skiing or snowboarding because you are not locked into bindings and can step away from the bike if needed. Not all of the pressure is on your legs, as a portion of your weight is supported through the handlebars and front ski as well. The stable design and controlled movements can feel easier on the knees for some riders. Everyone is different, so riding within your comfort level and consulting a medical professional is always recommended.

Maybe! Online bookings close at 8:00 PM the night before your rental date. If you need a SNO-GO rental for the same day, give us a call or text at 970-200-7578. We'll do our best to accommodate your request, subject to equipment availability and our delivery schedule.

Please note that same-day rentals are subject to a $25 same-day booking fee. We always recommend booking in advance, especially during weekends, holidays, and peak ski season, to guarantee availability.

Absolutely no ski boots! They can cause you to slip out, increasing the risk of injury. While harder winter boots are an option, they also carry a risk of slipping. For the best experience and safety, we strongly recommend wearing snowboard boots, as they provide the most secure and comfortable fit for riding.

Yes, ski biking is often considered easier on the joints than traditional skiing or snowboarding. The bike’s suspension helps absorb impact, reducing stress on the knees and ankles. Your body weight is more evenly distributed between the handlebars and the rear skis, rather than being placed entirely on your legs, which many riders find more comfortable and less fatiguing.

Yes, all of our skibikes are equipped with shocks. The shocks provide a smoother ride and better control, especially on uneven terrain. They help absorb impacts and enhance the overall ski biking experience, similar to how they function in mountain biking.

The SNO-GO Shift bike comes apart into 3 different sections for easy transport. Ask one of our team members to show you how! It's as easy as one, two, three!

The SNO-GO Shift bike is the main bike that we use for our rental fleet. The bike weighs 34.9 pounds.

Like any winter sport, ski biking has some risk, but it is not inherently more dangerous than skiing or snowboarding. Riders stand on the bike and are not strapped in, allowing them to step away during a fall, which can reduce the risk of injury. The bike’s stability and controlled handling make it confidence-inspiring for many riders, especially beginners.

Yes, SNO-GO ski bikes are allowed at all Vail Resorts! Check out our Vail SNO-GO Guide and Blog here.

There are three main types of ski bikes, each offering a different riding experience.

Type I (Classic Skibikes or Skibobs) are the original European-style ski bikes. Riders sit on the bike and wear small foot-skis attached to their boots for balance and turning. They have little to no suspension and typically have the steepest learning curve.

Type II (Freestyle Skibikes) are designed to feel more like downhill mountain bikes. They feature full suspension and footpegs instead of foot-skis, allowing riders to sit or stand. They're popular for jumps, terrain parks, and aggressive riding but generally require more experience. Lemz bikes are an example of type 2 bikes.

Type III (3-Ski Skibikes or SNO-GOs) use one ski in the front for steering and two skis underneath the rider for stability. This three-ski design makes them easier to learn, harder to catch an edge on, and more stable than traditional ski bikes. Most Type III bikes also include front suspension for a smoother, more comfortable ride, making them the preferred choice for beginners and experienced riders alike. SNO-GO bikes are type 3 bikes.
