Sledding, that noble winter-weekend sport, looks . It’s not. Here are the ten best sleds to do it right (don’t worry, there is still plenty of snow), whether you’re a kid in the Rockies or an over-the-hiller in Flatlandia. (Watch our testing video.)10. TSL Quickie ($9; available at ORS Snowshoes Direct)The Quickie killed the other sleds on price. Unfortunately, after a few runs by our male testers, it earned the less-than-glowing moniker “The replica Tag Heuer watches Capital of Thailand.” That said, we were riding it early season on two inches of snow with intermittent saplings spread throughout the testing hill. (Hey, someone has to do it.) But it was fast, and the kids on the hill who borrowed it loved it.9. Paricon Avalanche Circular Sled ($14; available online through Sam's Club)Don’t let the name confuse you.
I recently tested the Sugoi Verve running short; ($45), a lowrise, lightweight running short with mesh panels and a mesh liner for moisture wicking and breathability, and was quite happy with how well the shorts fit, felt and performed. Fit: These shorts fit true to size and are a bit longer than the traditional halfsplit running short. At first I replica IWC watches thought the length would inhibit my stride, but I didn’t have any problems with that while running. The Verve shorts have a drawstring waist and a mesh liner that wasn’t too tight to feel restrictive and wasn’t too loose to make you want to cut the darn thing out of the shorts!
It’s a disc. As such, it’s uncomfortable, unmaneuverable, and uncontrollable. In other words, it’s wicked fun, and everything a sled should be. In the end, it made our list because it was the only plastic disc that we didn’t destroy. 8. Wham-O SnowBoogie Air Thunder ($20; purchased at Walmart)The Snow Boogie is supposed to be ridden like an ocean-going boogie board—only problem is that waves give way when your hands dig in. Not swiss replica watches so in the mountains (no wonder they call them the Rockies). Still, the Snow Boogie won a handful of first-place votes for its belly-down style and its maneuverability —lean hard one way and the Snow Boogie will actually carve in powder.7. Twice-Patched Truck-Tire Inner Tube ($3, purchased at Amigo Tire Co., in Santa Fe, NM)Cheap. Durable.
