You know that snow sports must be a great hook when someone from Texas decides not just to get into them, but to get into the actual industry while living in Texas! My old buddy Aaron Remkus from the great state of Texas joined me today to elaborate on the who/what/where and WHY he got into Ski Biking and opened a company named Texas Ski Bikes.

Now, if you've ever been to Texas (or heard about it, seen pics, etc LOL) you know that Texas isn't known as any epicenter of snow or snow activities. In fact when I lived there, it was because it had a distinct LACK of snow 99% of the time. Having moved to Texas, from Upstate NY to remove myself from the snow that had wedged itself in between me and my motorcycle for many months at a time, I was glad it didn't have snow. Now, after hearing from this old friend about how I should check out a thing he called a "SKI BYK," I let him tell me about it...

Aaron has taken a bit of a self-appointed ambassadorship role for this Ski Bike sport he fell in love with, specifically the brand he says fits his bicycle and motorcycle riding style, to a tee. Enter... the SKI BYK.

He told me about his introduction to it when the idea of snow sports didn't quite marry up to the actual experience for him. Specifically, he said the activity of skiing or snowboarding sounded like a great escape from the heat of the south but skiing and snowboarding were not what he wanted to do on the snowy mountain, even after trying them. Other than riding a snowmobile or track equipped dirtbike on the mountain side, what option does a powersports person have to bring the "behind bars" experience to the mountain?

Yes, I am checking these rigs out. Funny because, until now, I figured my days of finding anything that could coax me back to a cold, snowy mountain were long behind me. Funny how a fresh take on a product category can do that.

Please check them out and thank you in advance for sharing this episode with anyone you know that should hear it!
