An apparatus is provided that raises the rear of a snowmobile while it is parked
for purposes of storage, repair, and/or warming up. The apparatus is attached to
the snowmobile and forms an integral part that goes everywhere with the snowmobile.
An integral support rack slides out of the rear bumper of the snowmobile. Once
fully extended, the user can lift the rear bumper and drop the support stand down
to support the rear of the snowmobile in the air, in much the same manner as a
kick stand on a bicycle works. The stand also has a supporting structure that folds
out to provide a multipoint support system that prevents the snowmobile from tipping over.
