Words: Ludo May

In this sixth episode of Ludo May's series 'Let's Ride', we take you to the heights of Verbier resort in the Swiss Alps. At the start of this winter, with plenty of fresh snow, Ludo is taking advantage of a sunny day to get on his bike and ride 'La Marlénaz', a classic route that's usually done on skis! It's a nice little mission, with an intense hike a bike and an unusual ride in powdery snow. Enjoy the ride!

 Riding your two wheeled devices in the snow is cool and all but I'm wondering why more people are not riding ski bikes? Riding two wheels in the snow seems semi-popular but carving turns on a ski-bike, that sh*t is crazy, ridiculous, fun.

 I've been building ski bikes for a few years now. They are definitely more fun than riding a regular bike in the snow.

 Wouldn't skis be more fun than a ski-bike?

 @IntoTheEverflow: I'm pretty good on skis and excellent on a snowboard, enjoy both immensely. But the ski-bike is a whole other level of fun.

 Great little edit! I enjoy snow biking immensely, but the conditions have to be just right for it to be really fun.
Vinny T knows you don't need fat tires to rip some fresh lines (but it helps). Stoked to try ski-biking this season; my friend says it's better than skiing when the pow days happen.

 Last time I did this the bolt holding my crank fell out and disappeared in the snow. I had to ride 10miles back with only one crank. Luckily I had clipless.
