Abstract: A ski system for ice fishing shanties is composed of at least two ski members and a plurality of mounting brackets connected with the underside of the floor of the ice fishing shanty which engage the ski members in a selectively removable manner. Each ski member includes a substantially flat elongated ski body and a shovel connected thereto at an incline of approximately between fifty and fifty-five degrees with respect thereto. Each ski member further includes at least two legs projecting perpendicularly with respect to the top side of the elongated ski body. Each leg has a distal top end to which is attached a lip. The lip projects substantially parallel with the elongated ski body toward the tail end thereof. The mounting brackets are spaced and dimensioned to receive, respectively, each of the lips, thereby releasably securing the ski members to the ice fishing shanty.
