could anyone tell me if ski bikes are allowed at sunshine or Lake Louise?

Thinking of going there with some buddies at the end of November.

I am putting out a call to Ontario/ Ottawa ski bikers ,

to show some support for buying day passes ,

http://www.calabogie.com/mountain/web-cam/mountain-web-cam.html#.UnpZiCe7Guk

we have been allowed to ride there in the past ,

and hopefully we can work with the ski patrol ,

early this season , to prove our bikes are safe ,

and not a liability for them,
.
some of my bikes, from earlier in this forum page 77

Any updates on the possibility of ski biking here this winter?

I found this video on outube at sunshine:

I also called sunshine customer service and they said that it's not a problem, but also I dont know if she even fully understood what I was saying....

Does anybody know anywhere in Ontario, mainly around Toronto, where you can ride a snowbike/snowscoot.

I want to buy one but there is no point if you can't ride it anywhere....

So far i've contacted:
Mt. St. Louis Moonstone: Definite no
Bluemountain, Collingwood: Definite no
Horseshoe valley resort: No reply yet
Glen Eden: No reply yet

I dont think they have any reason to not allow them I think they've just never had to deal with them so they just aren't on the list. Kinda like asking a ski hill if you can take a GT snow racer down the slopes, they probably consider snowscoots/snowbikes as a toboggan Madder

How did you attach the board the the dropouts and fork on that bike?

It's hard to tell from this picture, but I think he just took the trucks from the skateboard and screwed them in upside down (Instead of screwing them in from the top, he screwed them in from the bottom. Basically, he put the trucks on the top of the skateboard instead) and then bolted the trucks to the bike forks.

Decided to build a ski bike with my old DH rig, 03' A-Line, fabbed the brackets at work yesterday, and mocked it up for fitment. Heres what it looked like mocked up, just gotta paint the brackets and skis, and set up the footpegs.

Ski bike mounts 12x150 20mm
Mocked up

you may want to get better skis after the first day Salute

And you may want to lower the mounts. When I did mine, I figured you can make them about as high as your travel minus your bb height. So proabaly like 6-7 inches for your bike since it has a high bb.

At 514BMX shop in Montreal we just put together a custom Snowbike using a Drifter Snowbike kit. I shot a video "How To" for people interested about the kit.
