A ski bike for gliding across a slick surface that dampens shock forces on skis and provides precise maneuverability on a slick surface. The ski bike is configured to turn through either: a rotatable handle bar sub assembly, by shifting the weight of the rider, or through a carving technique involving digging the skis into snow and following the formed carved path to turn. The ski bike dampens shock forces on the skis through a dampener that absorbs shock forces from a front ski, a front shock pivot mount that that enables lateral pivoting to absorb lateral shock forces, and a swing arm tower that enables lateral pivoting of a pair of rear skis. A stomp plate provides stability by gripping footwear of a rider and enabling passage of moisture. A frame includes a lift bar that enables the ski bike to be lifted by ski lift.
