1. A screed ski system comprising:
- (a) a plurality of stakes anchored in material on which aggregate material is to be screeded;
(b) a plurality of circlip saddles each supported by a corresponding stake;
(c) at least one section of screed ski material snap-fit into and supported by the circlip saddles; and
(d) a screed bar movable along the section of screed ski material and another surface to screed the aggregate material.

Abstract
A screed ski system includes a plurality of circlip saddles supported by corresponding stakes and a plurality of sections of screed ski tubing is snap-fit into the circlip saddles. After screeding of a first layer of aggregate or plastic material, the screed ski tubing and circlip saddles are removed as a unit. The spacers are optionally placed on the stakes, and the screed ski tubing and circlip saddles are placed as a unit on the spacers to facilitate screeding of a second layer of aggregate or plastic material over the first. Some of the screed ski tubing can be flexible to provide an arcuate screed ski.
