I saw those at Menards here in the TC. They are very similar to the paris expedition sled in shape/mold BUT very flexible by comparison. Not sure that's a good thing. I'm sure they would hold up for a trip or two if you were careful but not sure long term. Also curious how that plastic would behave in real cold-hopefully it wouldn't get brittle. If that sled got away from you on a downhill and smacked a tree I worry you might be in trouble. I thought about picking one up just to try it. Someone has to.

Looks like an exact knockoff of the Paris Sled. I'm guessing it's pretty durable - it's already withstood an expedition from China all the way to America! Worth a try.

Made in Canada, bruh...

All the better - I'd try it.
