VERY NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own an old mountainsmith expedition sled "kiddies sled" that is sort of like a boat and sort of floats on the snow - flat bottom. If there is deep fresh powder over night its like trying to pull an anchor (becasue it sinks in the snow)and your little runners will sink in badly leaving you to carry it - however thats the beauty of your design. You might try replacing the runners with old sawed off wide cross country skis to give more lift.

Hi Jim, Thanks for you nice comment. My first thought was to use Kids Ski's or an old set of cross country skis. We don't get much snow here in San Antonio but I did look for a few months at some of the more typical "used" stuff stores. I found some "down-hill" skis but they were really heavy. Adding a wider runner should be easy if I have to and if I can get up to Maine like I hope next winter I may luck onto some used skis to try.

By the way, all parts are "pop riveted" no welding.
