ABSTRACT:
A sled having a frame with a seat portion, the frame being supported by two runners each located under one side of the frame, wherein each of the runners is movably connected to the frame by several levers. Each lever is mounted on the frame by a transverse pivot and each has a lower end connected to the runner, the levers allowing the runner connected thereto to move downwardly from a retracted position to an extended position at which latter position the side of the sled above that runner is lifted relative to a snow surface under the runner. A foot pedal may be provided on each side of the frame positioned for use by an occupant of the seat portion and connected to the levers so that pressure on a pedal on one side of the frame causes the levers on that side to extend the runner connected thereto, thus tilting the sled relative to the snow surface.
