The Ridge Riders are bored to tears. So much snow has fallen on their mountain biking practice hill that they can't practice. The only bright spot is that they don't have to go to school. Luckily, Dozy has a great idea. He turns an old skateboard and a pair of sneakers into a snowboard. Before long, everyone is snowboarding. But when Fiona's horse takes a terrible fall on the snow, Slam needs to ride through the ice to find the veterinarian. Will he make it, or is Fiona's horse doomed?
