I just couldn't do this without fearing sliding over a mountain edge.

Looks like my commute on a really bad winter morning
Just kidding. Though the unplowed first few hundred metres down can feel like that sometimes.
I wonder how many of these had fat-bikes. Regular mtbs are pretty terrible on soft packed snow.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I think that's less "riding a bike" and more "trying to hang on to the bike as you slide down and hope you don't get hit on the way."
No thanks!At least I don't leave slime trails.

only sane one I saw was the one water skiing with his bike by putting both feet on the ground, standing next to the bike and shoe skiing down. It looks like fun but mybones are too brittle and my joints tto stiff. I wonder what the walking wounded and worse rate is.
