Shroombob, LLC is the manufacturer of the iSkibike ski bike, or a skibob as they call them in Europe. iSkibike is a ski bike that was specially designed for adaptive skiing (see Our Story). However, because the ski bike performs so well, the ski bike experience is great fun for anyone whether they have a disability or not.
Shroombob, LLC, has designed and is manufacturing a bi-ski which is perfect for many disabled individuals' adaptive skiing needs. This bi-ski is specifically designed to provide for adaptive skiing for people with Amputations, Brain Injuries, Balance Problems, Muscular Weakness, Vision Impairment, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, and Dysfunctional Knee or Hip Joints.  Marketed under the name iSkibike, the nature of this adaptive bi-ski makes it extremely easy to learn to ski beginner runs, yet challenging to master on more difficult runs, both on and off piste. Disabled individuals are typically able to ski easier downhill ski runs on their first day, and, after mastering the learning curve, are able to ski 'on-piste' groomed runs & 'off-piste' powder and crud runs. The device has a unique "4-bar" suspension system, with 8 inches of seat travel, that allows the disabled individual to fully ride on the bi-ski, while their feet [or foot] need only float lightly on the snow surface using very short foot-mounted skis to maintain balance. This patented design allows the disabled individual to load and unload chair lifts, while fully seated on the bi-ski.  [See, Patents  ## 8,109,523, 8,398,094, & 8,398,095.]
 
Throughout the design and patenting process Shroombob has focused entirely on adapting old school downhill ski equipment concepts by innovating an entirely new and creative downhill ski device to accommodate and facilitate downhill skiing for disabled individuals.  Shroombob has accomplished that goal at this time, while proceeding in the future to further improve the design of the Shroombob bi-ski through user input.
Presently, the Shroombob bi-ski is being used by the following adaptive ski programs serving both disabled military veterans and non-veterans: Vail Veterans Program; National Ability Center; Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center [https://boec.org]; Telluride Adaptive Sports [https://tellurideadaptivesports.org]; Colorado Discover Ability [https://www.coloradodiscoverability.org]; Shining Stars Foundation [https://www.shiningstarsfoundation.org]; Ignite Adaptive Sports [https://igniteadaptivesports.org]; Annie's House Adaptive Recreation Program [http://skibwp.com/aharp]; New England Disabled Sports [https://nedisabledsports.org]; New England Healing Sports Association [https://nehsa.org]; Adaptive Sports Connection [https://adaptivesportsconnection.org]; Eagle Mount [https://eaglemount.org];  Adaptive Adventures [https://adaptiveadventures.org]; Prisma Health [https://www.prismahealth.org​]; Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico [https://www.adaptivesportsprogram.org​]
and Higher Ground Sun Valley [https://highergroundusa.org].
 
Additionally, a large number of disabled individuals, both military veterans and non-military individuals, have purchased the Shroombob bi-ski for their personal use. In fact, the Veterans Administration has directly purchased the Shroombob bi-ski for some of these disabled individuals.

Degree in Law from Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts. Bob also has training and experience in emergency medicine and avalanche hazard evaluation.
For the last 45 years, Bob has skied extensively both at ‘front country’ ski areas and resorts, and at ‘back country’ sites throughout the U.S., including helicopter skiing out of Valdez, Alaska. Bob combined his engineering training with his knowledge of skiing techniques to develop the iSkiBike design, and enable the skibike skis to carve turns exactly like a downhill skier.
No good ski equipment should stand still, because important technical and functional improvements are always possible. iSkiBike is now the best skibike on the planet, and iSkiBike’s company philosophy demands that not change. Thus, iSkiBike will continue to improve its accessible design and features to ever improve the product.
