Review & Description

Kicksledding is pure joy, and turns nearly all sledders into mountain boys and girls. Gliding along on hard-packed snow or ice seems effortless (though its actually good exercise), and you get to take your sweetheart or young one along too. As if that weren't good enough, kicksledding is also excellent aerobic exercise and a fantastic way to get a workout in the course of routine daily activities! Snowpacked streets, back roads, and well-used snowmobile trails are perfect for kicksledding, particularly those with a gentle grade. A long, plowed driveway curling down a hillside. Mountain Boy kicksleds are an artistic interpretation of a traditional, time-tested Nordic design. The sled body, including the very comfortable slatted seat, is made of American white ash. Screws are stainless steel, and connecting bolts are high-grade anodized steel. The runners are highly flexible tempered steel, with polished and waxed edges. Rings are welded to the front of each runner, making it simple to attach a bridle and tugline for dogsledding. Multiple coats of UV-resistant finish mean the sled can be left outside for extended periods without damage. The handle on each sled is a specially chosen native willow branch, hand-carved for a perfect fit and polished to show its natural beauty. No two handles are alike, and each has its own unique look and feel. Because each kicksled is a one-of-a-kind work, each is signed and numbered on the bottom by the sledmaker. On the front, the Mountain Boy brand is burned into the ash of the backrest, drawing attention to the individual grain of each piece of wood. And on the back, an elasticized storage compartment provides space for a sweater or lunch box. The copper footrest is light, strong and sets off the wood tones of the sled. As it ages, the copper gains a fine patina that only develops more character overtime. Removable nuts at the front of each runner allow each sled to be easily collapsed and transported on top of a vehicleBuilt to last for generations, this heirloom-style, hand-crafted interpretation of a traditional Norwegian kicksled combines the joy of sledding with aerobic exercise on snowpacked streets, back roads, and snowmobile trails as well as open fields and gentle slopes. Because each kicksled is a one-of-a-kind work, each is signed and numbered on the bottom by the sledmaker. Rings are welded to the front of each runner so a harness can be attached for dogsledding.

The body, including a slatted seat that accommodates one adult or child, is made of American white ash. The handle is a willow branch, hand-carved for a perfect fit and polished to show its natural beauty. A copper footrest is light, strong, and sets off the wood tones of the sled. As it ages, the copper gains a fine patina.

Runners are powder-coated flexible steel, with polished and waxed edges. Screws are stainless steel. Bolts are anodized steel. Multiple coats of UV-resistant finish allow the sled be left outside for extended periods without damage. On the kicksled's back, an elasticized storage compartment provides space for a sweater or lunch box.

The kicksled measures 72 inches long x 36 inches high x 24 inches wide, weighs 16 pounds, and supports 300 pounds. Removable nuts at the front of each runner allow the kicksled to be collapsed and transported on top of a vehicle. It carries a 1-year warranty against defects. Assembly (instructions included) is easy.

sold separately, Mountain Boy Sledworks' Kicksled Snow Floats are plastic runners that snap onto the Silverton Kicksled's steel runners so the sled can glide quickly on groomed trails and in fresh snow.

Also sold separately, Mountain Boy Sledworks' Mushing Package allows the Silverton Kicksled to be used for dog sledding.

Review & Description

Small Black Nylon Mittens. Available in Size Small for ages 1-3, Medium for ages 3-5 and Large for ages 5-8. SnowStoppers Mittens feature the Patented extra long cuff we call the SnowStopper Sleeve. This SnowStopper Sleeve Stops the Snow from getting in to the wrist between the coat and mitten and keeps the mittens from falling off. These mittens go on before the coat. Just pull the SnowStopper Sleeve up the arm towards the elbow and then pull the shirtsleeve down and put the coat on. This forms a barrier that keeps snow out and keeps the mittens from falling off. There is no bulky or unsightly material covering the coatsleeve. Kids stay warmer and play outside longer with SnowStoppers Mittens. Read more
