Abstract
A snow ski assembly for a snow vehicle includes a ski body, a ski spindle, a ski stopper and a ski keel pressure adjuster. The ski body has an upper surface with a ski spindle attachment and a bottom surface with a keel. The ski spindle has a lower end pivotally connected to the ski spindle attachment of the ski body about a pivot axis. The ski stopper is disposed between the upper surface of the ski body and the lower end of the ski spindle. The ski keel pressure adjuster includes at least one adjustment member and at least one user input. The at least one adjustment member is movably disposed with respect to the ski body between a first position in which the ski stopper has a first compression characteristic and a second position in which the ski stopper has a second compression characteristic. The at least one user input is operatively coupled to the at least one adjustment member to move the at least one adjustment member in response to operation of the at least one user input.
