sled


There is nothing quite like driving down a hill at full velocity while snow is kicking up behind you. Take that a step further and add a row of huskies to the front and be propelled across the fresh powder at high velocity. The sled, which is defined as a land vehicle with a set of separate smooth longitudinal runners that travel by sliding across a surface, most are used in travel across snow or ice. The sled has obviously been in use for as long as prehistory dates (Egyptians used them to move obelisks, Vikings used them to transport ships from land to sea), though, our most contemporary usage for the the vehicle is to transport ourselves in some winter fun across a valley that has been paved in glorious snow. Being that they come in all shapes and sizes today, the vintage 1950's style sled are the most iconic they harken back to the time where it snowed feet not inches each winter and the sleds were primarily made from steel and wood. Recently they have been able to have been found said models at Sled Warehouse and Cool Hunting.
