Oh man these things are addictive!! Got an opportunity to try out my brothers bike this winter.

2 hours to go riding would be great! From L.A. its more like 3 for non-plated bikes. As for Big Bear don't know, there are trails outside the ski area that I'm sure you could ride on. We ride dual sport up there quite a bit. Holcomb Valley has quite a few green sticker trails/roads that should be snowmobile friendly.

Now here's a crazy idea, snow bike with a plate!

They are heavier than a stock bike. I found it best to stand next to it, lean the bike and give it some throttle. I never did get it buried but I suppose It's like a snowmobile you dig yourself out.

Guess I'll never know about either. I don't play in snow often in Co Cal.

In California you have year round riding. I miss Vegas and having riding access basically out my front door. I gotta drive 2hrs now for some decent riding. I don't know what the laws are about snowmobiles at say...Big Bear? Are they allowed to go off trail? If you ever get up this way be sure to pm me.

It's a Timber sled Mountain Horse snowbike kit . Fits on about any bike mfg out there. They are becoming more and more popular in the Rocky Mountain States.

That's very cool. Never seen those before. Are they bought like that or is it a kit you can buy?
