Puck board from the local hardware store works great for skid plates and would make a good ski with support. It comes in different thickness' and is bendable with the help of a propane torch.

thought you may like this "Shovel head atc 70"....lol Ya it was a shovel with angle iron welded to the bottom to steer. Man that was a freakin scary test ride down the street
!! After about 5-6 inches.....the wheelers are slowed pretty good. I plan to have a ski project as well this winter. Good luck, thought you may want to get a good laugh.
while you got some real ideas..lol lol You never know till' you try!

im taking the ski off the snowmachine and strapping it to the front wheel, i guess ill tighten the brake down all the way so it cant move? i got a crazy carpet underneath it and have tirechains on the way. im only planning to follow behind snowmachines so hopefully it will work.

I saw a picture once of a 250SX with what appeared to be pieces of snowmobile track just simply wrapped around the rear tires. The track was considerably wider than the tires, therefore giving better "flotation" as well as great traction. This does nothing for the front, but would be a relatively cheap and simple modification for the rear. I'm thinking of trying it this winter with a ski skin type of thing under my front tire. I really like the idea of the crazy carpet under the skid plate. If you could fabricate something slippery and smooth to cover the entire bottom of your frame(but ridgid also), it would do two things to help get you through the snow...it would eliminate most of the drag...AND...it would also help to keep the wheeler "afloat"on top of the deep snow. Maybe a double ski set-up on front would keep the front end afloat better.

haha i have the same problem with snow riding in Anchorage... just gotta start doing the chicken dance to get some traction! Just wait till spring comes and the snow starts developing that freeze/thaw crust on top of it. It sooooo fun to ride. Anywhere that hasnt been ridden on becomes a giant icefield, but with traction. and its all super smooth with gradual lumps everywhere! just head home before things start thawing.. heh heh

ok i put the ski on the front, crazy carpet under the entire frame and chains on the rear the report: the ski floats the front tire and turns great in 2 inches or more of snow but does not work at all in any other condition it just wont turn!! its still 16 inches of powder here- i measured with no base other than the ground itself. the chains help but it just wont go very well in the deep stuff still, have to rock back and forth the entire time! im thinking of dual wheels or the snowmachine track trick next, any opionions?

Add a "flux capacitor"... 16" of snow, your asking it to work outside its designed parameters... Way outside...

Been there done that with the "snow machine track trick", looked cool and was fun in the making but it just did not do it for me. We had to of the same quads on the same hill, one with the tracks wrapped around the rear tires and one with "Pro-wedge 2's" on, the Pro-wedges made it further up the hill and was more fun to ride.Originally Posted by hawaiirider

I don't see the problem. I love driving in the snow. We get lots of snow here normally and I just stay on the beaten trails or make sure it's not too deep. But I do venture into the deep stuff and it makes a fine work out getting it out. Bouncing on the suspension makes the bike dig down when you are stuck tho. Lol
I would love to try the quad track system on a three-wheeler with a ski in the front!
