10 Best Snow sleds 2024 in the United States

The traditional snow sled can be made of birch wood with red-painted steel runners. But nowadays you can get a sled from high-impact polyethylene plastic, or lightweight polyurethane foam as well. Check the weight capacity of your sled, as well as the dimensions. There are sleds which have handles for a secure ride, and are made to go even in deep snow. Some are suitable on loosely packed, powdery snow, whereas others are only on firmly packed snow. You can find sleds equipped with steering wheels and brakes as well. An added convenience is a hole to attach a rope, so as to make it easier to pull the sled uphill after a ride.
