Snow Sleds

What's the difference between foam and plastic sleds?

Plastic sleds are generally the lighter and quicker sled option, as they create less friction between you and the snow. Plastic sleds are typically made from high-density moulded plastic materials and can be ridden over slightly rougher terrain while withstanding plenty of use. Alternatively, foam sleds are made from a soft, lightweight foam that’s often sandwiched between thin plastic. Foam sleds are best suited for the younger rider, as they provide a softer and safer surface to ride on. Although not as fast on the slopes as plastic sleds, foam sleds are durably made and designed to withstand rugged terrain and plenty of trips down the hill.
