I live in Switzerland and for many years I had to watch people having fun with their families and friends on the slopes without being able to do the same with my kids and friends due to a knee injury.
In 2020 I discovered the SnoGo bike. Already by browsing the website and watching the videos I knew that it had the potential to be a game-changer for me.
I rent a bike from the local dealer (Rimotec) in Switzerland. Went on the slopes twice. That was it, magic happened !!!
The SnoGo fullfilled all my criteria: Ease of use, it takes literally 1h to feel confortable with a SnoGo and go down a blue slope (no greens in Switzerland!). There is no other sport on skis that you can learn faster than a SnoGo (believe me, I have tried all of them: skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing). Quality of the materials, enginnering, robustness, care about the small details that make the difference. Very low stress on the knees thanks to the S.L.A.T. system keeping the skis parallel in all situations. The feet are not attached to the skis, very low risk of joint or leg injury if you lose control as the feet detach very easily from the skis. Stay in control at all times, you chose your speed and style, you can go slowly or you can hit a black piste or the snowpark ramps if you like. I only fell a couple of times in the beginning, the (short) time it took me to understand not to lean backwards and put the weight forwards on the front ski instead. After that a dream became reality !!! Availability of spare parts. Support local or directly from the US. I cannot exagerate by saying that the SnoGo radically changed my winters since 2020. Being up on the slopes with my kids and friends is priceless ! Not to mention the enthusiastic comments of youngsters and kids when they see my SnoGo while waiting in line to ride a chairlift !
A big THANK YOU for this product !
If the ski resorts realized how many people could become their loyal customers thanks to the SnoGo, then they would have whole fleets of them for rental ! Their customer base could grow a LOT... but they need to think differently and include more types...
Read moreI purchased a demo modle in May for my birthday. I had the amazing privilege of riding it for the first time at Grand Targhee Ski Resort in Wyoming over the Christmas break. I had a blast. Just a heads up, ski bikes or trikes are not allowed on Targhee, unless they are being used as adaptive equipment. I was confronted numerous times about the SnoGo until they became familiar with me. I have a club foot. It is a type of birth difect. Because of corrective proceedures performed on my foot during my developing years, I have a real balance and stability issue on skis. I have attempted skiing multiple times because my wife is an avid skier. Every attempt resulted in me being very sore and worn out from constantly getting back up and retrieving my skis. The Monday after Christmas, I enjoyed being on the ski hill, with my family, for the first time in my life. I was a blast. I crashed twice but I easily recovered from both crashes and back to skiing. I do understand the mechanics of skiing because I have tried so many times. Consequently, the learning curve was quite small for me. However, I do believe that most people would pick this skill up very quickly. I strongly recommend SnoGo....
Read moreLove my SNO-GO'S !!! I am a snowboarder but I have some medical issues from years of motorcross and mtb racing . Snow boarding is hard on me so not as much fun as it used to be . I still have fun but it's just harder on my body . I was just at Park City with some Friends that are 20 yrs younger and it was hard for me to keep up with them .I got two SNO GO'S one for me and my wife . They are so much fun and I can keep up with my younger friends . I have more fun on the Sno Go then the snowboard . My wife is learning to snowboard she can't snowboard with me on a lot of runs . On her first day with the Sno Go she was able to ride all day with me while I was snowboarding , even down blue runs . They are super fun and make it so we can spend the day riding together even with the different skill levels . I love them ! They...
