Access to Ski Areas
"[D]iscrimination includes a failure to make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures, [which] are necessary   .  .  .   [for the] accommodation [of]  individuals with disabilities  .  .  ." 42 USC Sec. 12181. Definitions. Sec. 12182(b)(2)(A)(ii).

Adaptive Skiers have Access

It is against the law to deny disabled iSkibike riders access to ski lifts and runs.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 & 2008 (ADA) bans discrimination against persons with disabilities. Ski areas in the United States open to the public are subject to the ADA. The website ada.gov contains a wealth of information for businesses to comply with the ADA. The website also has a form where one can register complaints.
Ski resorts leasing land from the U.S. Forrest Service are also required to adhere to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The USFS Accessibility Guidebook for Ski Areas provides authoritative guidance to ski areas to comply with both the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act.
Every state in the US has anti-discriminatory laws applying to persons with disabilities. Courts have determined that ski bikes are adaptive equipment and ski areas need to allow their usage for persons with disabilities.
Bob, the designer of iSkibike and his wife's devoted caretaker, is Robert Kolesar, Attorney at Law licensed in the state of Montana. He has experience with the ADA and provides some more resources.

Leashes

Some ski areas require all ski bikes to use a leash in order to access the chairlift or ski slopes. But iSkibike does not need a leash and they are dangerous to the rider.

The manufacturer of iSkibike, Shroombob LLC, recommends: NO LEASHES
  1. DO NOT attach a strap or leash between the iSkibike and its rider while skiing downhill.
  2. DO NOT attach a strap or leash between the iSkibike and a ski lift chair or rider while riding the chairlift.

iSkibike won't run away down the slopes without a rider and the rider sits on the bike on the chairlift so it won't fall off. But leashes are dangerous to the rider should they get snagged on the chairlift or worse, having the equipment pulled onto them during a fall.

According to the manufacturer, the best safety for everyone is achieved by NOT using a leash with iSkibike.

Access to iSkibikes

iSkibike is being used by the following adaptive ski programs serving both disabled military veterans and non-veterans.

The Veterans Administration has assisted several disabled veterans by directly purchasing iSkibikes for their personal use.
Finally, the iSkibike manufacturer Shroombob LLC offers a substantial discount to persons with disabilities needing adaptive equipment. See the iSkibike Adaptive Discount.

Go Skiing

For those of us with limited mobility, the sensation of sliding down a mountain is priceless. The freedom, the speed, the wind in the face and resulting adrenaline rush are coveted commodities hard to come by with a disability. -- Bob Wassom
