Abstract: A snow jack for use with snowmobiles or other off-road vehicles includes a telescoping upright structure with a ratchet and pawl lifting mechanism removably connectible at its top. A strap with a hook extends from the lifting mechanism to engage the snowmobile. The lower telescoping member has a reinforcing fiberglass core. The telescoping members may be secured relative to each other to facilitate height adjustment. Brackets are also provided to attach the upright structure to the running board of the snowmobile.
