Snow hisses under a single steel edge and the pines lean into the wind as you push off from the lift—this is ski-biking in South Lake Tahoe: the odd, immediate thrill of riding a bike frame on skis down familiar alpine runs.

Wear a helmet
Helmets are essential—impacts happen at speed and a bike frame changes fall dynamics compared to skiing.
Start on groomed runs
Begin on gentle, groomed green/blue runs to find balance before moving to steeper, variable terrain.
Book a lesson
A short technique session speeds your learning curve and reduces the risk of over-leaning or improper weight distribution.

Bring proper winter boots and confirm they’re compatible with the ski-bike’s bindings to avoid control issues.
