| 20090102146 | MULTI-EDGE SNOWBOARD - A multi-edge snowboard includes multiple boards with attached bindings. A pivot mechanism that connects the bindings to the boards rotates each board, so that each board can provide an active edge that engages the snow during turning or stopping. The increase in the number of active edges relative to a conventional snowboard improves the performance of the multi-edge snowboard, while the binding structure retains the feel of a conventional snowboard. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20140191482 | 3-SKI SNOWBIKE - The 3-ski snow bike designs transform bicycles into 3-ski snow bikes that can be used for downhill and cross country snow biking. It consists of a bicycle frame with 1 permanent front ski instead of the front wheel and 2 detachable rear skis on each side. The 2 rear skis provide good snow bike stability while the short front ski allows for easy maneuverability. These 3-ski designs are adaptable to most types of bicycles with pedals and rear wheel of bicycle attached and used to move the 3-ski snow bike cross country, or removed for downhill snow biking. The steering bar in addition to controlling the turns with the front ski can be used to move the 2 rear skis up/down, enabling the snow bike to lean during turns, or the rear skis can move freely for easier control on steep slopes. The 3-ski snow bike also has a breaking mechanisms (brake bar digging into snow), rear shocks for a smooth ride, and ski attachments that easily connect to most downhill ski bindings, so that the rider can change the length and type of rear skis, depending on size, ability, and snow biking terrain. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20160144882 | Para-Alpine sit-ski seat rises and tilts to permit handicapped skiers to assume seating in standard ski slope chair lifts, unassisted if needs be - A para-alpine ski, typically a dual-runner sit-ski, has a seat and undercarriage that a user/skier can—under no force(s) save his/her own—cause to raise to a height sufficient so as to permit boarding—totally unassisted if needs be—of the user-skier and his/her entire para-alpine ski onto a moving carry chair of a standard ski-slope chair lift. Upon disembarking the ski slope chair lift the user-skier can lower his/her seat for skiing, again without assistance. When the same sit-ski is used to ferry a total invalid then a trained instructor or guide who normally stands at, and steers from, the back of the sit-ski can stand alongside the sit-ski and its occupant at the point of loading the chair lift, and can trigger the sit-ski seat and its occupant to rise, again permitting that the chair of a standard ski-slope chair lift may be adroitly mounted. | 05-26-2016 |

As the undercarriage of the skibob is lifted off the snow, the rider is deposited on the chairlift bench so that the seat of the skibob is secured in place by the weight of the rider on the seat. During offloading, the skibob is nonetheless readily disengaged from the chairlift bench with an active boost from the suspension and optional spring-loaded seat as the undercarriage contacts the offloading platform, permitting the rider to ski away from the chairlift without dismounting the skibob, thus improving ease of use for riders with limits in physical capacity. These and other features of the invention are a benefit to disabled persons in gaining access to the ski slopes. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090230641 | Snow ski-bike - The Snow Ski-Bike comprises a main frame similar to the ones used on today's downhill type mountain bikes. It features a suspension system and ski pivot assembly removably connected to the main frame. The main frame does not incorporate a drive system or form of self propulsion as it is primarily designed to be carried to the top of the mountain by ski lift. The ski pivot assemblies are each equipped with horizontal return pivot shocks, hydraulically controlled brakes, and dual retractable traction fins for each ski. These components will serve as an integral part which will support The Snow Ski-Bike main frame on the snow covered ground. This provides a versatile arrangement that suitably combines stability, agility, and the ability to reach high speeds on various types of snow or ice covered terrains. | 09-17-2009 |
