We got 6" this weekend in the Peoples Republic of Boulder
(not as lucky as the Aspen folks) so Owen and Nate and I
went over to the sledding hill for really our first try at
riding something like this. It was much more forgiving than
street or dirt trail, I was able to do my Volleyball stomach
slide, although all the usual stuff like shin and wrist
guards were also necessary. Found out that you can do
something that feels like a "Hockey Stop", where you kind of
twist the unicycle sideways and it digs into the snow. It
feels just like a Hockey stop does on ice skates when I do
it. Of course, I ended up on my kiester most to the time but
sometimes it was controllable.

I couldn't make it out onto any big hills, but I had a blast
Icycling around the local college campus where they had
plowed the sidewalks. I tried to ride through the big piles,
jump up or over them, etc. Sometimes I made it, and it was
the coolest feeling. Other times, I'd hit the piles and go
straight down. Usually, I don't fall down, just off. But I
seem to always go down in the snow. But it was unpacked
piles, so although I got cold (and covered), I didn't get
hurt. I also played on the frozen puddles, but I'm not as
brave as I used to be, so I didn't try hopping or making
sharp 90 degree turns on the ice (I used to do all of that
without any safety gear, but I don't heal as fast as I used
to...) What it all comes down to is I love Icycling!

Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different. Would
this be called a butt-thodic support? or glutethodic?

My friend and i went up one day with ours but the guy at
the lift wouldnt let us on even though we had seasons
passes so we both got our boards and put them on over our
shoes and went up like we were gonna ride our boards but we
took off the frame and put it in our backpacks so all you
could see was the wheel hooked on the back and he was never
the wiser. It took us about ten minutes to find a skier
free area on the side but boy was it awesome. about a 20-30
minute ride down(its a long ways even for the fastest
snowboarders) all the muni you could want riding off logs
and stumps and the snow had like half a foot of powder and
soft pack below so when we fell it wasnt bad. Rode down
twice more and took about 2 and a half hours with a short
lunch inbetween. Most places wont let you go up if they are
a popular spot so if there is a lower down not as popular
resort lower down the road go for them. Oh and just so ya
know we just left our boards by the medical hut at the top
where there is a bunch of boards and skis so theyr wer fine
when we checked them. We are planning to do this again this
year too a few more times.

my friend is going to give me ten dollars to go sown the the
bumpy things (i thinkk they're called mogules) woo hoo! I
just can't wait. It stinks that it doesn't snow much around
Westchester, and that even if it did there's no where to
ride in Pelham.

I like the story about the ski lift. That's great. It would
be cool to take the wheel off and put like a snow board on
the post and ride down that way. That'd be sick.

Has anyone had any experience riding Muni on cross-country
ski trails? We get a fair bit of snow (4 m in a season) and
it's way too deep to ride in the bush unless you ride along
the skidoo tracks. This isn't a great idea because of the
difference in speed between skidoo and Muni - it'd be easy
to get run over from behind. I was out at the local ski park
yesterday and noticed that the part of the trails groomed
for skate skiing was hard packed and looked rideable.
Anybody done any riding on snow this way? Any hassles from
skiiers or management?

Thanks Doug

if the trails are groomed for skiing, you'll get your ass
kicked. it will destroy , well, 'destroy in their eyes'
the trail.

if it's just a trail that has snow on it that people ski on,
it works ok

Snow machine tracks are great to ride on, apart from the
snow machines wipping around the corner out of
nowhere... make sure you can see the trail ahead and
keep your ears open!

Toboggan hills are fun, too - the snow gets packed firm so
your tire grips better. It's amazing how steep a hill you
can ride down!

Have fun!
