Some odd ways of getting around on snow...

Recommended Posts

I was able to try ski-biking at Timberline Ski Area, WV a while ago. Was a blast. Turns out one can carve fairly well on a ski-bike. A long time ago, when our family lived in Switzerland, Ski-bobs were the big thing...basically tricycles with skis. These next pix show what happens when someone stays up too late at night...figuring out new ways to get around on snow. Being a sailor, my favorite is the first one...a sailsnowboarder (or perhaps snowsailboarder??), looks like fun. The tracked ski-bicycle evidently stems from a combination of staying up too late AND more than a few beers. Maybe Lance Armstrong could run up that uphill...I think one would need HIS legs to make it move.

Gravity IS Life.

Watch this cat lay down turns low enough to get his grip into the snow starting at 3:15.
