ABSTRACT:
A sled is provided for traversing a snow covered surface comprising an elongate frame and an elongate flexible runner pivotally mounted to each side of the frame. The runners are mounted onto the frame at a longitudinal position of the runner through which a single resultant force acts in opposition to a force exerted onto the respective runner by a snow covered surface when the sled is traversed thereacross. To provide steering, the runners are rotated about their respective mounting axes and front portions thereof are initially bent toward the direction of turn. A transverse link connects the runners at their frame mounting points assuring that both runners rotate in concert about their respective axes. Conventional snow skies are modified to act as the runners.
