Trike Ski

Scroll down a bit to see a picture of a ski Honda made back in the day. Looks like one could be fabricated using a snowmobile ski, like others had mentioned.

I find that my trike will "plow" a bit when you steer in fresh snow. I was riding around the yard last night and a few times, the machine was still going straight, even when I turned the bars. An easy solution is to put your weight foward when you steer. Scoot up as close to the front of the seat as you can and lean forward a bit. The extra weight over the front wheel will help with the steering.

Yes, they did at one time make a ski kit for three wheelers.
One thing that helps is a nice new front tire, the sharp edges do help.
