Forget that Ski Time Square/Knoll/end-up-at-Meadows-Lot-anyways loop you invariably have to make searching for a parking spot to go skiing. One group of ski-commuters has solved that conundrum by commuting by bike (E or quad-powered regular), letting them park their rides literally steps away from either gondola. And they come in all sorts of Dr. Seuss-like shapes and sizes, with innovative homemade setups. We caught up with a few (who chose to remain anonymous, lest the powers-that-be curtail such privilege) for their comments on this breed of slope commute:
“I can make it from my condo to gondo in just 10 minutes.”
“Get a fender to avoid a mudstripe up your back.”
“Great for the commute home after Happy Hour as well.”
“PVC pipes make a pretty good rack.”
“Builds up those quads for White Out.”
“E-bike? I call it a Ski-bike!”
