Abstract: Skeg structure for a snow-traveling device, such as a snowboard, a ski, and the like including structure appropriate for anchoring to such a device, a deployable, movable skeg blade, and mounting structure which is associated with that blade that promotes adjustable, travel-limited, yieldable, spring-biased motion of the blade relative to an associated snow-traveling device, and specifically, relative to the underside, snow-contacting surface in that device.

Abstract: A skeg device and system and the like, for mounting on snowboards or skis to improve performance, maneuverability, tracking and balance. Skegs are designed to easily mount on snowboards, and has blades for controlling the snowboard path in a variety of snow conditions from powder, to hard snow, to ice. Each skeg is comprised of a mounting plate for easily installing the skegs on a snowboard and a blade rotably mounted on a shaft that is spring loaded. The spring loaded rotatable shaft allows the blades to deflect when engaging a hard surface to constantly self-adjust to snow conditions. Depth adjustment is provided by a thumbscrew that adjusts the rotational position of the shaft and thus, the depth that the blade extends below the surface of the snowboard. By rotating the thumbscrew, a rider can dial in the tracking of the blade on each skeg individually.
