Much less strain on the knees & back! SnoGo is AWESOME! I’ve been a skier for about 45 years & Snowboarder for about 20, but the SnoGo is an AWESOME method of shredding the mountain!

My friend and I just rented a couple of these for the day here at Sunday River here in Maine. Total blast. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but it looks great and rides even better than. Better than expected steering response from the front ski and speed control on the back skis. It’s easy to do and really easy to learn and improve on the way you can react with the bike to maintain control. My buddy went home and ordered one he likes it so much. Loved how you really showed how quickly she made progress on learning the ins and outs of the body movement.

Two feet, same board, way safer...

Yup, it's simply more lean or tilt of the bars, versus steering and the bike does the rest!

They look fun!! But I miss snowboarding been so long.

At 6:11 is low side. Its when you just tip over, toward the inside of the turn ... High side is when the bike stops... And your momentum yeets you across and over the bike, toward the outside if the turn.

Sweet! This way when you go to wreck/slalom… You can fall over and not take your skis with you on the way down. I’ve always been a tuck n roll out of the crash Person.

Oh my gosh not this 😂 as a snowboarder I was incredibly sceptical.. but I've given them a closer look and yes: they look very safe thanks to the big contact patch, perfect for beginners or a funny day on the slope!

From my experience, the reason snowboarding hasn't been more accepted is mostly the poor etiquette displayed by many boarders. Mostly by those who don't learn to carve and too often bail down the hill cutting inside the turning arc of skiers.

Skiers hated snowboarders in the early days. I remember getting a lot of hate from skiers for being a snowboarder. The snowboarders tended to be rebellious trouble-making teenagers and the skiers tended to be the old fogeys who resist change. The skiers also saw a lot of beginners who were just side-sliding, and scraping away the soft top layer exposing the ice below. It also didn't help that a lot of people were trying snowboarding for the first time and flying down the hill out of control. I fell on my snowboarder one time and crashed into two skiers who were just standing there. When I would sit and rest on the hill, skiers like to spray me with snow as they passed then yell something like "Nothing personal!" Ski resorts would have elections where you'd vote to see if they should continue to allow snowboarders.

where is the safety strap/brake arm preventing this thing from hitting someone down-slope?

Do you think the front fork actually worked?

Don’t care much about this sport but I think people come here to watch the love anyways 🤗

I wonder if this would help me learn to manual? I skied Bogus back in 1997. I loved that place. Are either of you skiers? Or just boarders? I ask, because the mechanics look like skiing with proper hand up and out positioning. So many skiers let their hands open up and fall back turning their shoulders. When I watch the current generation or downhill mtn bikers change direction, it looks like this same motion. Even at 50+ I could see giving this a try. :) Thanks for sharing.

Yes they can do both. You can change the skis to powder or thinner for groomed runs. We just leave the powder ones on unless the conditions are very bad.

Looks like fun. Guess they don't let you take your bike on the lift?

So if you lose it off the lift, is that leash going to pull you off the lift too?

How responsive is this with stopping from hitting a ski wi?

I get that you two are really into bikes, as am I, but why not just ski? Skiing is amazing. So glad I grew up when I did, we didn't think that we would be able to do anything right away. Everything has a learning process. I learned how to swim, sail, ski, fly, bike as a young man, and then got into windsurfing in my 50s. It's much more satisfying when there is a challenge. However, it did look like April was having fun.

Then there are people that maybe prefer this anyways or as an option.
