Rentals & Ride Alongs
Skip the frustration
Idaho Ski Bikes requires a security and damage deposit on all rentals. For easy transfer of funds back and forth we prefer either cash or VENMO as neither of these have fees attached. If you would like to use a credit card, there will be a processing fee added on.

FAQ
We've got the answers!
Is Ski Biking hard to learn?
Most people find that ski biking has a much shorter learning curve than skiing or snowboarding. You will likely be able to do green slopes on your first day.Who can ride?
Anyone who is physically able. As long as you can lift the bike onto the resort chair lifts, you can ride.Where can I ride a Ski Bike?
Currently all Idaho resorts allow ski biking. Our rentals are only allowed to be ridden in ski resorts, no sledding hills or back country skiing is allowed due to high probability of damage to the equipment. Be sure to contact your ski area to be sure what rules apply to ski bikes. Check out American SkiBike Association to get information on individual ski resorts.How do you get on/off a lift?
Pretty easily actually. Stand next to the bike while waiting for the chair to get to you, one hand on the upper frame and the other on the handlebar grip. As you sit down on the chairlift the lift seat will sweep under the bike seat. Once the bike's back ski clears the snow, lift the bike into an upright vertical position onto the chairlift seat right beside you. The ski bike seat will be on the chairlift seat, and then hold the bike against your body to keep it secure in the vertical position. To get off the lift, it’s the opposite. Keep the bike vertical until you are ready to step off the lift, and as you stand up, bring the bike skis down to the ground and walk/jog off. As you get better, you can hop on the bike and ride off.How do you stop or slow down?
Very similar to skiing and snowboarding. Once you understand your edges and with some practice, you will be able to carve, drift, and hockey stop your bike just like on skis and snowboards.What do I need to wear?
Basically just clothes to keep you warm and dry. Your basic ski jacket and ski pants/bibs are pretty standard. Your glove choice depends on the weather, but they should be gloves or mittens that allow you to grip the handle bars firmly. Your footwear can be anything that keeps your feet warm and dry. Many avid Ski Bikers choose snowboard boots because they are comfortable and have a nice ridged sole to provide good support when sending it off jumps, but any warm and dry boot will do. Idaho Ski Bikes recommends wearing a helmet. We often see motocross/bmx full face race helmets being used, but any ski or snowboarding helmet is just fine. For your first go, just be warm, dry and comfortable.Do I need a lesson to rent a Ski Bike?
We want to make sure you enjoy your rental and your time on the mountain. We strongly recommend taking advantage of a ride along on your first outing. Going about it on your own will likely result in frustration setting in early and your enjoyment will simply never come. Scheduling a ride along has many benefits. First, your rental is included! Second, we transport the bike for you! Third, your guide will cut your learning curve down to a minimum and have you hitting the mountain within your ability and act as your tour guide and show you drills ensuring you progress and have a great time.How do you transport the bike?
Many vehicle bike racks can accommodate the ski bikes with some extra straps. A truck or larger SUV is also nice. If you choose to put the bikes inside a vehicle, be aware that the skis are very sharp and can damage your interior. Please take steps to protect your interior. Idaho Ski Bikes will not be responsible for damage to your vehicle.I have an injury, can I ride a ski bike?
We are not doctors, and as with any sport, it can be as extreme as you make it. Many people with physical limitations have reported that they can ski bike as it is not as taxing on their physical ailments. As always, it is up to the rider to determine, with their doctor, if any activity will be safe for them. But ski biking is easy to learn, and easy on the body.Contact
