Ski Bike Inspection and Approval
To ensure we can accommodate your adaptive ski bike or ski trike to the best of our ability, please contact Palisades Dispatch or Alpine Dispatch before your first use at our resort. Dispatch will schedule a time for Ski Patrol to meet with you to inspect your equipment and issue an Approved Adaptive Equipment tag, allowing you to use your equipment without delay or undue interruption during the season. This tag must remain attached to this equipment and provides future access for your specific adaptive use of that piece of equipment; neither you nor your equipment has been independently approved for unrestricted use. Ski bikes and ski trikes are prohibited for use by those without adaptive needs.
