While it’s mid-May, in some places winter is still going strong. To celebrate, free rider Ronnie Renner joined snowbike pioneers Brock Hoyer and Reagan Seig in the Idaho backcountry to grab a pow day on snowbikes.
While snowbikes aren’t exactly new, their full potential is still being mapped out. To this end, the guys didn’t just hit jumps and lay down carves, but took their bikes to the top of the mountain, testing their mettle by sending it down steep chutes normally reserved for the bravest skiers and snowboarders. The results are a step forward for snowbiking and a just lot of fun to watch.
Long live winter.
