A traction enhancement system (10) for a snowmobile (12) that includes a front plate member (14) and deflection plates (16) mounted ahead of the snowmobile body (18) for deflecting and compressing fresh, ungroomed snow to enhance traction, startability, and stability of the snowmobile in heavy and rough snow conditions. The front plate member (14) comprises an upper screen (40) offset ahead of a lower screen (42), with both screens being attached to the bumper (36) to angle downward toward the tail section (28) of the snowmobile (12). Each deflection plate (16) is bent along a longitudinal axis and mounted to the tip (32) of the skies (30) to deflect snow to either side of the skies (30). The front plate member (14) and the deflection plates (16) are slidably engaged within their respective receiving tubes (61) and (98), which are attached to the snowmobile (12) to facilitate quick and easy attachment and detachment.
