A dive-resistant suspension for a snow machine having a ski assembly and a body has a swing arm and a resilient member that biases the swing arm downward relative to the body. The swing arm has a first rigid linkage and a second rigid linkage. The first rigid linkage has a first pivot point connected to the body of the snow machine and a second pivot point connected to the ski column. The second rigid linkage has a first pivot point connected to the body of the snow machine and a second pivot point connected to the ski column. The swing arm defines a travel path of the ski assembly as the swing arm moves between an operative position and a retracted position. In a first portion of the travel path, the ski assembly moves from the operative position forward and up relative to the body of the snow machine.
