Came across a pile of these at my local home improvement center...never heard of the Traineau Expedition Sled before, wondering if anyone has experience with it for winter travel.

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.

Buy one and let some kids play with it. If they don't break it, then it's trailworthy.

I looked for these at Menards in Richfield but they did not carry them. Which store did you find them?

I saw them a few weeks ago at the Fridley store on Central at 694. But as a seasonal item they could be out of stock.
