ABSTRACT:
A ski attachment for pivotal attachment to the axle or transverse rod-like member of a wheeled vehicle which comprises at least one ski having an elongated runner with an upturned front tip, an upstanding pedestal mounting on said elongated runner behind said front tip, said pedestal having an upper distal end with a transverse recess or like means formed therein for pivotally receiving said transverse axle or rod-like member of the vehicle, said pedestal and ski having a total height greater than the radius of the vehicle wheel, and tension biasing means interconnecting the front tip of the ski to the vehicle above the axle for urging the front end of the ski upwardly relative to the vehicle whereby the mounting of obstacles during forward travel of the vehicle is facilitated. In a preferred aspect, the ski attachment of the invention comprises a pair of skis, with means for securing the skis together in spaced side-by-side relationship. Each of the skis preferably has a runner comprising an elongated base upturned at its front and rear ends with a pair of spaced-apart sidewalls extending from the front end to the rear end, an upstanding pedestal mounted on the base between the sidewalls and secured to the sidewalls, and at least one transverse member interconnecting the skis together a spaced distance apart.
