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

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.

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.

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.

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