Skis on a LEUL?
« on: July 02, 2024, 08:46:35 AM »
Okay, okay, okay...
So floats may be a no-go for the LEUL... but what about Skis? I may live in Georgia, but I have family in Michigan which makes skis almost worth thinking about looking into.

Maybe the kind of friend who only shows up when he thinks you have beer.

I did a search for "Ski" and "Skis", but got two scoops of nada  ::)
Then I searched for "On Skis" and got some very nice threads and pics (mui domo).

Interesting. I just did a Search for skis and got 13 hits in several threads of this Forum. Even found a video of Silver Slug flying with skis.

Yeah... it's weird. I am certain there is a conspiracy theory somewhere out there to cover it.

Well, it should work nicely, assuming you have a method of holding them in a relatively level attitude.  I can't imagine even salvaged snowmobile skis being much heavier than a pair of decent spoked wheels.  HOWEVER......you will not have ANY braking capability.  (Well, unless you have an anchor to throw out during rollout.)

Just my thoughts.....Roger

For whatever reason, searching from the home screen gives different results. (scratching head)
