Type I skibikes for rent are Brenter and K2 sit bikes. Short skis are optional. Type I skibikes are available for rent at Village Rentals. Skibikes are not allowed in our terrain parks.

Night Bikes (Ages 13+)
From December 30, 2011 through March 31, 2012, in conjunction with all scheduled Sunpot Lodge evening dinners from 6-9pm we're breaking out the night bikes, donning head lamps and heading out on the hill for an exhilarating three hours of night time snow fun. It's the perfect activity to see the mountain in a whole different light (pun intended).

Tours are three hours and include instruction, a guide and use of a night bike. Night bikes are Type I unless Type II license is shown ahead of time.

Schedule:

• 6pm: Meet in the Winter Park Resort Rentals at The Village
• 6:30pm: Board the Zephyr Express chairlift to the top of Winter Park Mountain
• 6:45pm: Orientation on the use of the night bikes as well as safety considerations
• 7pm: The tour begins! A guide will lead participants down one of our set routes for night bikes. The beginner route follows March Hare to Village Way. The intermediate route follows Cranmer to Village Way. The group will take runs until the finish time. Routes taken depend on group.
• 9pm: Tour ends at the bottom of Winter Park Mountain

For reservations, call Central Reservations at 800.729.7907 or book on the mountain at West Portal Rentals or Village Rentals. Space is limited, reservations are required.

Type I Ski Bikes Type I are Brenter and K2 sitting style bikes. Night Bikes will be out of Village rentals, day lessons West Portal. Skiers will prefer short skis designed for ski bikes fitted to ski boots for Type I (included with lesson). Use Salomon rental boots for short skis; Head boots will not hold the ski well. Non-skiers may be more comfortable in snowboard/winter boots and a K2 bike with foot pegs. Biggest riders will want the silver K2 bike. There is one red kids K2 bike intended for age 7-14.

Type II Ski Bikes Type II bikes are custom made Lenz bikes unique to Winter Park. Different models are offered Lenz bikes including full suspension and solid front fork (talk to a bike instructor/rental specialist for recommended bike). Type II are ridden standing up (motocross style), with snowboard or other soft winter boot. Yellow bikes are the smallest of the Lenz fleet for smaller bikers. Minimum age is 13 for Lenz bikes (use best judgment; biker must be able to load bike on lift). Everything Type II is rented from West Portal. Cutting edge of Ski Bike industry! Only guests with a Type II bike license will be given the choice of a type II bike.
