Cool to see these become more commercial, I hope it opens this idea up to more people (especially whoever is in charge of resort safety). I welded a ski bike myself in highschool, it was my dad's old Raleigh Elkhorn with a pair of cut down shit old Rossi racing skis, and BMX pegs through the bottom bracket. Thing was a blast! Hard to ride for sure, but with the added difficulty of balancing on only 2 skis. It's a shame that resorts like Whistler specify that you cannot bring a homemade ski bike, especially considering some of the rigs you see in the summer lift lines...
