I was thinking about building a ski for my trike and had a couple questions.

1. would using two snowmobiles skis for the width be better instead of one snowmobile ski?
2. is there a mathematical equation for how much surface area you need on a ski to float a given weight on snow?

I was think of cutting down two older polaris skis I have and making somthing like these.

Should float along top of the snow when in motion either way. There is not a lot of weight up front so turning may be an issue unless you move your weight forward. Cool!

Sorry guys my computer has crashed so I have not been able to post lately, I have not had a chance to work on the ski idea becaues I am having a problem with cylinder studs pulling out my motor, so I having been trying to get that fixed. I will post up progress when there is some. Thanks, Alex
