Ski dolly

Abstract

A ski dolly includes a frame, a first ski, a second ski, a first coupler fastened to the frame, and a second coupler fastened to the frame. The frame may include a tongue that couples to an upper member. Descending from a first side of the upper member may be a first leg and from a second side of the upper member may be a second leg. Spanning between the first leg and the second leg may be a panel. Further, interposed between a lower surface of the upper member and an upper surface of the panel may be a panel member that receives the second coupler. The ski dolly is coupled to a snowmobile or tracked vehicle at one end and is coupled to a trail grooming device at an opposite end.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ski dolly comprising:
 a frame;   a first coupler fastened to the tongue;   a second coupler fastened to the panel member;   a first ski removably attachable to the frame; and   a second ski removably attachable to the frame.   
     
     
         2 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a tongue, an upper member that is coupled to the tongue, a first leg descending from a first side of the upper member, a second leg descending from a second side of the upper member, a panel coupled to and interposed between the first leg and the second leg, and a panel member interposed between a lower surface of the upper member and an upper surface of the panel. 
     
     
         3 . The ski dolly of  claim 2 , wherein the tongue is removably attachable to the frame and extendible. 
     
     
         4 . The ski dolly of  claim 2 , wherein the tongue is angled upward from insertion into the upper member. 
     
     
         5 . The ski dolly of  claim 2 , wherein the first leg comprises a first angled section and a first vertical section, the first angled section coupled to the upper member and the first vertical section coupled to and descending from the first angled section. 
     
     
         6 . The ski dolly of  claim 2 , wherein the second leg comprises a second angled section and a second vertical section, the first angled section coupled to the upper member and the first vertical section coupled to and descending from the first angled section. 
     
     
         7 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , further comprising a first support and a second support. 
     
     
         8 . The ski dolly of  claim 7 , wherein the first support fastens to a lower surface of a tongue and a first angled section, and the second support fastens to the lower surface of the tongue and a second angled section. 
     
     
         9 . The ski dolly of  claim 2 , wherein the panel member comprises indicia for aiding in measuring and securement of the second coupler. 
     
     
         10 . The ski dolly of  claim 9 , wherein the indicia are positioned on a front of the panel member, a first side of the panel member, and/or a second side of the panel member. 
     
     
         11 . The ski dolly of  claim 9 , wherein the indicia comprise raised portions, notches, or pins. 
     
     
         12 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the first coupler comprises a bolt and a nut. 
     
     
         13 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the second coupler comprises a bolt and a hook and latch. 
     
     
         14 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the second coupler is moveable along a y-axis of a panel member to receive varying heights of trail groom apparatuses. 
     
     
         15 . A ski dolly comprising:
 a frame comprises:
 a tongue, 
 an upper member that is coupled to the tongue, 
 a first leg descending from a first side of the upper member, 
 a second leg descending from a second side of the upper member, 
 a panel coupled to and interposed between the first leg and the second leg, and 
 a panel member interposed between a lower surface of the upper member and an upper surface of the panel; 
   a first coupler fastened to the tongue;   a second coupler fastened to the panel member;   a first ski removably attachable to the first leg or second leg; and   a second ski removably attachable to the first leg or the second leg.   
     
     
         16 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the first leg comprises a first fastener member that is hingedly coupled to the first ski. 
     
     
         17 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the second leg comprises a second fastener member that is hingedly coupled to the second ski. 
     
     
         18 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the first coupler comprises a first coupler plate, a first tube, a first bolt, and a first nut. 
     
     
         19 . The ski dolly of  claim 1 , wherein the second coupler comprises a second bolt. 
     
     
         20 . A ski dolly comprising:
 a frame comprises:
 a tongue, 
 an upper member that is coupled to the tongue, 
 a first leg descending from a first side of the upper member, 
 a second leg descending from a second side of the upper member, 
 a panel coupled to and interposed between the first leg and the second leg, and 
 a panel member interposed between a lower surface of the upper member and an upper surface of the panel; 
   a first coupler fastened to the tongue;   a second coupler fastened to the panel member, the second coupler comprising a bolt and one or more fasteners that fasten a coupler panel with a grooming coupler to the panel member;   a first ski removably attachable to the first leg or second leg; and   a second ski removably attachable to the first leg or the second leg.
