Bike.(or Run) Hike. Ski.
A guest share from our sister website Climbbetty on the 2016 Imperial Challenge and the FIRST Bike event of the season! Always a favorite and a great way to transition from Ski to Bike Season! My first indication that the day may not go as planned was when I found myself hiking up the […]

Opportunity, Vision and a Fat Biker’s Dream

The nordic skiers would pack-out the trail which enable fat bikers to ride more efficiently. Some nordic skiers argue that fat bikes rut up the trails. The shared use has […]

Fat Biking at Gold Run Nordic Center
A little more than a year ago, my daughter came home from a ski race in Steamboat Springs and told us she saw fat bikes on nordic trails. That was a progressive and interesting idea. At the time, in Breckenridge, there was an undertone of irritation by nordic skiers as fat bikers gravitated to […]
