Abstract
The present invention is directed to a single-ski assembly being configured to convert a double-ski conventional snowmobile to a single-ski snowmobile while improving the steerability, the maneuverability and the floatation of snowmobiles and thus by providing an adjustable angular front orientation of the ski. The single-ski assembly comprises a damping system adapted to control the longitudinal direction of the snowmobile and a steering mechanism adapted to control the upward and downward rotation of the ski.
