Ski slopes + mountain biking?

While I was in the mountains skiing not too long ago, I noticed that a handful of ski resorts offered mountain biking in the summer.

I was browsing the web and found this article about the risks of biking at ski areas. I read it more as background than as an assessment of the risks. It reported that approximately “158 NSAA member resorts reported having mountain bike trails at their areas, while 85 offer lift-serviced trails”. Well, I guess that’s more than a handful.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I thought it was an interesting concept. Would you go mountain biking on a ski slope?
