doesn't always go as planned. That's why practice happens. Bought my own land so I could have this kind of fun legally. No tickets for this guy.

Looks like a 1uz-fe. From an ls400?
OP, I don't doubt that you could do this, but it will be an extreme pain in the dick all the way.
That being said, it has been done before, and you seem like the type who will probably go for it anyway.
I can generally score parts for these pretty cheaply.
Sex toys are on the house.

I don't deal much with snow but wouldn't it be advisable to have a little bit of turn up at the rear of the skis in case you have to back up a few feet so that it doesn't go to the Center of the Earth?

Look like old school snow mobile skis? Also curious if they are going to have any issues just rotating and going nose down into the snow. Very interested to see how well that works.

Does this thing not look like an amputee now?
Didn't even make it out of the shop fully. Basically drove out into some soup.
Didn't make it very far into the snow. I need more traction. Like tracks. Those would be great. Maybe one day.
I honestly wasn't thinking this thing could get any stupider looking. Then I added some T-rex arms to the front...
It's strange how close in size these things look.
Ya and I wasn't watching what was going on when pulling it out of the bush with the tractor. Too caught up in why it wasn't moving, finally got off the tractor and discovered my problem. I have a wedge situation.
With that, we identify the weak spots. Reinforce. Find some more traction. And we'll be back at er if the snow sticks around. Otherwise it's v8 time!

Snow skis don't have metal bottoms. Use some plastic strips underneath to reduce the coefficient of friction. That's what they do on the bottom of a lot of air boats around here to go across the dry ground. Increasing your surface area will also help with reducing the drag. Search for polymer sheet and the countersink bolts to mount it.
