After going on a nice 3-day hut trip last week, I've decided to stop procrastinating and make a sweet ski sled. Not some wimpy little thing that slides all over the place, but instead something *hopefully* unstoppable in the backcountry. We'll see...

My first thought was walmart, which I hated. And unfortunately I fell pray to their late-night shopping hours and decided to give it a go. Funny I get what I deserve which is a giant warehouse filled with crap, and none of it is what I need. The best thing I found was something from Whamo. Target, Kmart, etc... it's all the same: Nothing.

Today was different. I found a sweet $5 sled off craigslist and was able to get it on my way home from work. Traffic was terrible getting there thanks to a combination of Santa and the Cherry Creek Mall, but the sled was worth it.

I will be following along with the techniques outlined on skipulk.com and will probably make some mods of my own along the way. The first of which is adding a pair of chopped detachable skis to the base of the sled. Maybe I'll take a picture or two but for now, just imagine long low and red :)
