Sledding lover, possible in USA?

Hi |

Looks very cool! I've never seen anything like this in the US. I think you should start this sport here. |
|
Love it! I wish they had that here in the US. That could be a great thing to revive some of the dead or dying smaller ski resorts in New England (like the one near Rumney). I am guessing you don't need it as steep as ski runs to still be fun |
|
Years ago I saw a video and write up from some guy in the Adirondacks that would hike/climb the high peaks and do some pretty technical Sled descents. Maybe someone knows where to find that? |
|
Door opens for a rant..... |
|
When I first read the this post, my though was, "Ha, sledding...". After watching the video, I have to say, that looks like a lot of fun! |

It would be popular for sure, all of the sledding hills I have seen operating for profit look pretty lame. We used to have some major battles on sleds BITD when nobody drove on icy roads cause nobody had 4wd. |

Problem is, sledding needs ice, or packed snow. You might check out snow kayaking. It's been turned into a Thing now, but started as a back country, go anywhere there's snow deal. Idaho guy who also did winter water kayaking. |

Or use a grain scoop shovel....works awesome |

With what, 800,000 miles of forest service roads out there, this would be super fun! And, help out some dinky ski areas. Here, you'd have to get dibs before the snowmobiles, though. To the op, hope you do find some place to play here! |

thanks for the answers! |

What part of the USA will you be in ? |
