Abstract
A board is provided particularly for supporting a front of a snow vehicle. The board is provided alone as a single board for a forward portion of the snow vehicle with the board capable of floating upon soft snow. The board includes a mounting bracket on an upper surface for mounting to a chassis of the snow vehicle. The running surface opposite the upper surface floats the board upon the snow or other support surface and preferably includes a central fin and a pair of skegs extending down from the running surface. Side edges of the board can engage the snow to allow turns to be carved by the snow vehicle. The central fin can be adjusted in position and depth and has various different configurations to provide optimal steering control of the snow vehicle through the board.
