Easy there Jim. I'm not one of the trekkers group who diss'ed you. I know you have a method of winter camping that works really well for you in your local. I'd love to be able to come visit you some winter and learn from you because you have experiences and knowledge I don't. However, I have dragged a sled up and down hills and would happily do it again. High mountains can mean flat open areas with many easy slopes. Yes, there are places that are a real pain to drag a sled. There are places that are a real pain to ski too. HYOH
