Claims
- 1. A snowmobile ski comprising:
an elongate ski element having a tip and a tail defining a length therebetween, top and bottom surfaces, first and second lateral edges extending longitudinally between the tip and the tail defining a width therebetween, and an attachment flange extending upwardly from the top surface; at least one lateral extension element detachably secured to one of the lateral edges; and at least one fastener releasably securing the at least one lateral extension element to the elongate ski element.
- 2. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the at least one lateral extension element further comprises:
top and bottom surfaces with an attachment flange extending upwardly from the top surface, first and second lateral edges defining a width therebetween, and a tip and a tail defining a length therebetween.
- 3. The snowmobile ski of claim 2, wherein:
the attachment flange of the elongate ski element includes at least one hole; the attachment flange of the at least one lateral extension element includes at least one hole; and the at least one fastener removably connects the elongate ski element and the at least one lateral extension element together through the at least one hole in the elongate ski element and the at least one lateral extension element.
- 4. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the fastener comprises a threaded fastener.
- 5. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the elongate ski element attachment flange is disposed proximate to one of the lateral edges of the elongate ski element.
- 6. The snowmobile ski of claim 2, wherein:
the elongate ski element attachment flange is substantially in the same plane as one of the elongate ski element lateral edges; and the at least one lateral extension element attachment flange is substantially in the same plane as one of the at least one lateral extension element lateral edges.
- 7. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein:
the elongate ski element attachment flange comprises a first attachment flange disposed proximate to one lateral edge; and the elongate ski element further comprises a second attachment flange disposed proximate to the other lateral edge.
- 8. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the length of the lateral extension element is substantially equal to the length of the elongate ski element.
- 9. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the elongate ski element further includes a suspension attachment structure disposed on the tope surface of the elongate ski element for attachment of the ski to a snowmobile suspension.
- 10. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the bottom surface of the at least one lateral extension element is aligned with the bottom surface of the elongate ski element.
- 11. The snowmobile ski of claim 7, wherein:
the at least one lateral extension element comprises a first lateral extension element attached to the elongate ski element first attachment flange; and the snowmobile ski further includes a second lateral extension element attached to the elongate ski element second attachment flange.
- 12. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the elongate ski element attachment and the lateral extension element attachment are made from plastic.
- 13. The snowmobile ski of claim 1, wherein the lateral extension element attachment attaches to the tip and tail of the elongate ski element attachment.
