A wear bar assembly is disclosed for aiding in the steering of a snow machine. The assembly may include a wear bar for attachment to a bottom of a snow machine ski and one or more hardened inserts, each insert extending outward from the bottom of the wear bar. The one or more inserts extend outward from the bottom of the wear bar with a varying height. An apparatus for use as a snow machine ski is also disclosed. The apparatus may include a base, a tip formed integrally with the base and extending longitudinally forwardly from the base, a tail formed integrally with the base and extending longitudinally rearwardly from the base, at least one keel disposed to extend downwardly from the base, and the wear bar assembly with progressively varying inserts extending downwardly from the keel.

What is claimed is: 1. A wear bar assembly for a snow machine ski, the wear bar comprising: a wear bar for attachment to a bottom of a snow machine ski; at least one hardened insert, the at least one insert extending substantially outward from the bottom of the wear bar; and wherein the at least one insert extends outward from the bottom of the wear bar with a progressively varying height along substantially the entire length of the at least one insert. 2. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one insert extends outward at an angled height. 3. The wear bar assembly of claim 2, wherein the angled height comprises an angle in the range of between about 1 and 20 degrees. 4. The wear bar assembly of claim 2, wherein the angled height comprises an angle in the range of between about 2 and 12 degrees. 5. The wear bar assembly of claim 2, wherein the angled height is formed by a first end extending outward approximately 1/32 inch and laterally increasing to a second end extending outward approximately 1 inch. 6. The wear bar assembly of claim 2, wherein the angled height is formed by a first end extending outward approximately 1/16 inch and laterally increasing to a second end extending outward approximately 쩍 inch. 7. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more inserts extend outward with a stepped height. 8. The wear bar assembly of claim 7, wherein the one or more inserts extend outward with increasing heights in the range of between about 1/64 inch and 1 inch. 9. The wear bar assembly of claim 7, wherein the one or more inserts extend outward with increasing heights in the range of between about 1/32 inch and 쩍 inch. 10. The wear bars assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one hardened insert is formed of a carbon metal compound. 11. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, wherein a combined length of the inserts is substantially equivalent to a length of the wear bar. 12. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, wherein the combined length of the at least one insert is less than the length of the wear bar. 13. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one insert has a length in the range of between about 쩌 and 12 inches. 14. The wear bar assembly of claim 1, further comprising a second wear bar for attachment to the bottom of the snow machine ski, the second wear bar configured to improve tracking and steering of the snow machine. 15. A wear bar assembly for a snow machine ski, the wear bar comprising: a wear bar for attachment to a bottom of a snow machine ski; at least one hardened insert, the at least one insert extending substantially outward from the bottom of the wear bar; and wherein the at least one insert extends outward from the bottom of the wear bar with a progressively varying height along substantially the entire length of the at least one insert; wherein each insert extends outward at an angled height, the angle in the range of between about 2 and 12 degrees; wherein the angled height is formed by a first end extending outward approximately 1/32 inch and laterally increasing to a second end extending outward approximately 쩍 inch; wherein the hardened insert is formed of a carbon metal compound; and wherein each insert has a length in the range of between about 쩐 inch and 1 inch. 16. An apparatus for use as a ski on a snow machine for traversing snow and ice covered teffain, the apparatus comprising: a base comprising a gliding surface for moving over snow, the gliding surface extending in a longitudinal direction positionable to correspond to a desired direction of travel, and extending in a lateral direction between a first edge and a second edge; a tip formed integrally with the base and extending longitudinally forwardly from the base; a tail formed integrally with the base and extending longitudinally rearwardly from the base; a pair of keels disposed to extend downwardly from the base proximate the first and second edges, respectively, to form a channel extending a distance selected to be effective to apply a turning force in the lateral direction effective to maneuver a snow machine over snow and ice covered terrain; a plurality of wear bars, each wear bar configured to extend downwardly from one keel; at least one hardened insert, the at least one insert extending substantially outward from the bottom of the wear bar; and wherein the at least one insert extends outward from the bottom of the wear bar with a progressively varying height along substantially the entire length of the at least one insert. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the at least one insert extends outward at an angled height formed by a first end extending outward approximately 1/32 inch and laterally increasing to a second end extending outward approximately 쩍 inch. 18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the one or more inserts extend outward with a stepped height in the range of between about 1/32 inch and 쩍 inch. 19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the at least one hardened insert is formed of a carbon metal compound. 20. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the at least one insert has a length in the range of between about 쩌 and 12 inches.
